Forest For the Trees

A documentary by Rita Leistner. You can’t plant a tree without believing in the future.

Laurence will be featured as a very special guest, tattooing live all day, and into the night of the 14th of July at the Two Rivers Gallery (@tworiversgallery) where we will be celebrating the closing of the THE TREE PLANTERS.

Pictured is a detail of “Evan’s tattoo of Earnest and Evan,” 40x54 inches in THE TREE PLANTERS. Laurence Morin gave Evan this tattoo in 2018, as a celebration of his friendship with his dog — a mainstay of camp, and a joy at work. Earnest died suddenly, on the block, in 2019.

We can’t wait to honour this kind of community collaboration at the closing party for THE TREE PLANTERS, which will take place from 730 to 930 on July 14th, and will include a tattoo spot by Laurence Morin, a cash bar, and the best company the bush has to offer. Come be with us!

Here is a diorama of Rita as “photographer of tree planters” by the artist-tree planter Toby Pikelin on display as a part of THE TREE PLANTERS at The Two Rivers Gallery in Prince George, BC.

Rita commissioned this diorama from Toby based on a photograph of her working in the field on FOREST FOR THE TREES. It’s one of her most cherished works of art and brings her much joy and feelings of belonging to be a small part of Toby’s tree planter universe.

Additional celebrations of the end of this incredible exhibition are two screenings of the film, at 7 PM on the 15th and a matinee on the 16th. Keep cool and stay tuned for more details. Planters wanted!

From 730 to 930PM on July 14th, there will be a special party to celebrate the closing of THE TREE PLANTERS — a film, book, and exhibition about the great Canadian rite of passage, which the Two Rivers Gallery in PG has been hosting in its full scope for the first time in Canada.

The party will feature art, great company, cash bar, book signings by Rita, and a special guest tattoo spot by Laurence Morin – who will be tattooing throughout the day, and into the night of the party.
