Between Us and the Trees: Conversations in the Secret Language of Nature
April 1- April 27, 2023 | Center for Arts Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, CA
The Los Angeles Printmaking Society is proud to announce an important exhibit and series of related events investigating the themes of plant intelligence, hidden communication, and the transcendent connections between us and the natural world in an upcoming presentation “Between Us and the Trees: Conversations in the Secret Language of Nature.”
The exhibition was inspired partially by forest scientist Peter Wohlleben who authored “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, What They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World,” where he writes about the secret language of the trees, the forest ecosystems, and the fungal communication of the ancient forests. Through the exploration of communication systems between the trees, the botanical world, and us, members of the LAPS and special guests present their investigations surrounding the themes of plant intelligence, hidden communication, and the transcendent connections between us and the natural world.
