Welcome to Tree Whispers

ANNOUNCEMENTS and INFORMATION

Treewhispers is an installation of an international collaboration involving paper, art and stories relating to trees as a symbol and resource. The artists, Pamela Paulsrud and Marilyn Sward are gathering from participants around the world, round pieces of handmade paper. This paper is bound together to create large tree assemblages-and ultimately a forest. The work of professional artists is displayed alongside elementary school class projects. Some include abstract imagery suggesting tree rings, some depict leaves or a personally significant tree, others are imprinted with a poem or meaningful story relating to trees.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming installation at Letters Mingle Souls , Chicago International Calligraphy Conference 2008, North Central College, Meiley-Swallow Hall, 31 South Ellsworth, Naperville, IL; July 19-25, 2008. Opening reception Friday July 18, 2008 7:30-9:30.

The forest continues to grow!
