WHAT: The Mother Tree is a seven-foot tall handmade paper installation featuring single strands of thread which have been crocheted by over 400 participants around the world. Helen is an internationally acclaimed author, teacher, and paper maker.
WHY: These community-made roots connect individuals across time and space. Mother Tree’s transformative nature encourages community interactions even when we can’t touch.
WHEN: JOIN US for monthly onsite (and Zoom) gatherings. This is an opportunity to crochet a root for the tree & learn about MOM. (Instructions for crocheters TBA).
GOAL: We aim to purchase the Mother Tree for our permanent collection. Will you help us raise the $25,000 necessary to make the Mother Tree part of MOM’s permanent exhibitions? Donate now please!
Our goal is 1,250 new roots – Will you be part of this stunning collaborative experience?
