“Tree / Book” by Camilla Nelson – Interactive Installation
Materials for reading, writing and mark-making will be threaded into a web between the branches of two oaks on The Green, in order for readers and writers to use them to express their environment, verbally and non-verbally, using the pages provided.  These pages will then be published as part of the physical web.  This installation is designed to inspire a playful exploration of the materials local to the area, and to encourage an expanded understanding of writing practices and materials in relation to environment.
