World book night 2025 https://www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/news/#wbn2025
Listen is made in response to reading, The Overstory, by Richard Powers, for Tell the Trees (Listen to the Trees) World Book Night 2025.
Amazing to think that some small groups within human society have taken dominion of the earth, regardless of the needs of every other living thing, all of which are interdependent.
The assumption being that mankind is superior to all other species and is therefore justified in exploiting them to his advantage. Time is running out for humankind, it’s time to really Listen to our one and only precious world.
A6 pamphlet, with original Lino cut and digital text. The words taken at random by allowing the book (The Overstory) to fall open. Pamphlet made for Tell the Trees (Listen to the Trees) WBN United Artists exhibition and mail art swap.
Text in the pamphlet:
Untouched foreign language texts.
All those scattered explorations
Theirs to sample and to squander.
They have lived like
Flighty and forgetful gods.
The pine she leans against says;
“Listen. There’s something, you need, to hear”.
