Leaves Hundreds and Thousands With Poetry
*Reminiscent of similar idea, herein was a local exhibit of 25 years ago with a similar perspective
Via : https://www.dianathompson.net/hundreds/htmain.html
A year long ephemeral, interactive project spent with the leaves (and people!) of Bear Creek Park,
hosted by the Surrey Art Gallery, February 2000 to February 2001
In small script, on leaves throughout the gardens and forests of Bear Creek park, were carefully printed poetic lines.
The idea was for people to find them by chance, for there to be a sensual relationship between words and trees
A colour catalogue of this project, with an essay by poet and writer Betsy Warland, an introduction by curator Liane Davison,
and journal entries by D.L.Thompson is available from the Surrey Art Gallery.
