The Tree Book by Cecilia Levy
“These pieces are inspired from researching the meaning of “the forest” and “the woodcutter” in fairytales. The forest in a fairytale is unique to each of us; we create it. I am currently writing my own tale about a woodsman that crafts his own forest from wood. Using traditional carpenters folding rulers I have created pieces that illustrate his efforts The pocket size rules spring up to create a shadowy forest that moves.”
