  • Night Life of Trees,The - Handmade

    Tara Books Night Life of Trees,The - Handmade

    Book SynopsisThe Night Life of Trees is an exquisite hand-bound and screen-printed book of paintings by three of the finest artists of the Gond tribal art tradition. The Gonds, a tribe of central India, are traditionally forest dwellers. They believe that trees are hard at work during the day providing shelter and nourishment to all. Only when night falls can they finally rest, and their spirits reveal themselves. These luminous spirits are captured in The Night Life of Trees, a fascinating and haunting foray into the Gond imagination. Each painting is accompanied by its own poetic tale, myth or lore, narrated by the artists themselves, which recreate the familiarity and awe with which the Gond people view the natural world. Screen-printed by hand on black paper, every page of this book is an original print. Each book in this limited second edition of 1,000 is individually numbered.Trade ReviewThanks to the artisan bookmakers at Tara Publishing a beautiful handmade book looks set to help us all discover an enchantment in even the ropiest urban sapling... The Nightlife of Trees is a striking handbound and screen-printed ode to the legends, folklore and spirituality of the forest. The arboretum of illustrationsfound within The Night Life of Tree's pages are silkscreened onto black handmade stock, allowing each magical tree and its narrative to shine out of the dark - and offering a captivating foray into the Gond imagination, where trees intoxicate and embrace, peacocks dance and sore-eyed bullocks seek out healing sap. grafik The book is a charming and delightful read ... providing a glimpse into the rich storytelling tradition and imaginative world of Gond folklore. Time Out A book where the nightingale sings until morning. John Berger
