The Night of Life Trees
£45.00
The Night Life of Trees is an exquisite silkscreen-printed art book of tree lore from the Gond tribe in central India.
Trees are central to the Gond tribal imagination: in addition to the stories that surround them, trees are important in a lived, everyday sense. There is a Gond belief that trees are busy during the day, giving shade and food to humans and animals. It is only during the night that their real spirit emerges. A collection of work by three of the finest living artists of the Gond tribe – traditionally a community of forest dwellers from central India
Hardback, Silkscreen-printed on paper recycled from cotton waste
