The exhibition will include storyboards from The Tree Spirit book, original paintings and illustrations, and wood carvings of some of the woodland characters featured in the story.The project began three years ago when Up Front housed an exhibition of masks and workshops with mask-maker David. During the occupancy, a violent storm felled a Lime tree in the Up Front landscape. Whilst clearing the debris, the idea of using this dramatic incident and the wood, to create and carve the characters for a new puppet play, was discussed enthusiastically by John, Elaine and David.A year and a half later, David asked Nicola Turner, a fine artist and illustrator, if she would be interested in working for such a project. Fortunately… she was, and The Tree Spirit, the story, exhibition and puppet play was born. Find out more about the exhibition on our website.About the venueSunny Bank Mills is an inspirational cultural destination in the heart of the local community of Farsley, Leeds.
