8. WOMEN IN TREES

Pinterest has been responsible for a lot of crimes in its time… introducing me to a small picture book called Women In Trees was not one of them. It only took one or two random pics to appear in my feed before I was obsessively on the hunt to find out more. A few clicks here and there led me to one of my favourite places on the internet The Marginalian where I found out the full story.

I ordered a copy of the second volume (the first was sold out at the time) and was delighted to find out how tiny and perfect it was when it arrived in the mail. The editor of the books had been gathering found vintage photos of women in trees for years and at some critical point decided it was time to share. The images rarely have names or dates on them and the books reflect this simplicity allowing us to imagine the stories that may have been behind images. This simplicity inspired me to start shoving mates into trees and seeing what we could create… but I’ll get more into that soon…
