the night life of trees
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 – this quintessential tara title has gone into several editions and in different languages.
