To promote the Nave Gallery’s Wrap Around Project and the work of the Somerville Homeless Coalition, we are yarn storming trees in Powderhouse Park in Somerville. Each tree will have a social justice theme and an individual color scheme.
Inspired by mosaic, The Caring Forest is based on the construction of the pieces on multiples of 4” (4”x4”; 4”x8”; 8”x16”; etc). We need squares and rectangles of all kinds: plain and elaborate. Acrylic yarn is the best material and we need the following colors:
-Black (with blues in it if possible)
-Oranges
-Reds
-Browns
-Pinks
-Creams
-Tans
The work will be installed in September and October , with the intent that falling leaves will make it more visible it as the fall progresses.
