An immersive, student-led installation for the sixth annual Gladstone Hotel Grow Op, an exhibition of art and design. Projects are designed to create immersive landscapes by engaging the audience’s sight, touch, hearing and taste.

Inspired by the Scarborough Bluffs, four Ryerson students created this series of panels, which emulate bedrock erosion and chart the effects of glacial movement and precipitation over 14,000 years. They used a chemical mixture of isomalt (a sugar substitute) and tonic water, which glows under a black light.
