Thursday 5th December, 6-8pm
When the Trees Speak is a photo poetry book exploring the innate wisdom held in trees. It is a collaboration between Paul Williams, photographer (‘Lungs of the City’ exhibition at ASP, October 2023) and Dr Sandra Walker, poet. It is the first publication resulting from their collaborative enterprise Sanpau Creative Wellbeing (www.sanpau.org).
The evening event starts with welcome drinks and nibbles then Paul will talk about his process in creating the photographs which utilised various types of pinhole camera. Sandy will intersperse with some poems and a chat about her process in responding to the photos and how the poems were created. There will be time for viewing some of the pictures up close and purchasing signed copies of the book after the talk. This timely and thought-provoking book would make a great Christmas present for the nature lovers in the family.
