Willow Tributary
Curated by Toronto Flower Market at The Drake Devonshire in 2025, Willow Tributary is a handwoven installation that celebrates material intuition and environmental attunement. Made from locally foraged willow - a plant essential to Ontario’s waterways yet often overlooked, the work honours its quiet strength in holding landscapes together.
Each branch, woven by gardener and artist Graham Teeple (@grahamteeple) in collaboration with Sian Pritchard (@sian.windandthewillow) and Bethany Rose Puttkemery (@smellslikeflowers_), flows with the rhythm of water, forming a living gesture of care, connection, and resilience.
Presented with support from The City of Toronto and MarketcityTO during Public Markets Week, the installation extended into a participatory weaving activation at the July Toronto Flower Market, inviting guests to join in shaping a collective sculpture and deepening their relationship with the natural world.
