The trees found were recorded and their outline traced. From these records a concertina book was made in which the origin of the individual trees were noted – like an almanac, with the year of the making of the print and a description of the tree and its location in the print. The accompanying online animation shows the trees coming together to make up a forest. From this forest image a screen print was made bringing the trees back to the collection.
