While GROVE the project is dedicated to Bill,
the oak trees we planted in GROVE are specifically dedicated to the
children of Philadelphia on Bill's behalf. These children's
children will be the ones to see these oaks mature. March 15th, the
day of planting was well-represented by the very young. To read
more about it Click on the image above to link to the Friends of
the Wissahickon Summer Newsletter, ( which was devoted to
Carpenter's Woods.)

If you are new to GROVE, welcome.
GROVE was and is a many part project about trees; real oak trees
and real paper trees. GROVE was a Philadelphia art project filmed
in the Wissahickon; a philly FRINGE installation event located at
the Media Bureau in Northern Liberties; and GROVE: Breakdown a show
of images in February at the Abington Art Center. GROVE happened
where a community of people care enough to become stewards of their
local park, Carpenter's Woods. This is where GROVE lives now in its
present form of live oak trees, restoring a small patch of forest
while reversing the cycle of trees to paper.
