Summary
This book is a tribute to the majesty of trees, and to old ways of relating to the natural world. Each painting is accompanied by its own poetic tale, myth or lore -- narrated by the artists themselves recreating the familiarity and awe with which the Gond people of central India view the cosmos. Silk-screened by hand on black paper.
