Pamela Paulsrud and Marilyn Sward: Treewhispers March 13, 2009

'Treewhispers' is a traveling, ever changing and growing art installation. It is an international collaboration involving paper, art and stories relating to trees. The artists are gathering round, handmade papers from participants around the world. On the papers, contributors have remembered a tree or the spirit of a tree. Some contributions are simply a magnificent example of beautiful handmade paper and some include text and/or imagery. Some suggest tree rings, depict leaves or illustrate a personally significant tree; others are imprinted with a poem or a meaningful story relating to trees. The handmade paper is bound together to create large tree assemblages and ultimately a "forest" of hanging tree rings.
