"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

"What kind of music? I'm really not sure. In the most general sense you could say 'their own': the taste of ripe cherries and the smell of the core of fresh oak. How can you disentangle the senses as they enter the sounds? Their music is a heightened sense of awareness wherever they go, and that creates a mesh like a spider's web, but the filaments in the songs are made of the finest strings of light instead, light filled with crane cackle, the smell of earth-ripening mushrooms, the look of an old Amish barn or a wine cellar from Marie Antoinette's basement.

"In Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, you'll find some of the sophistication of thought and feeling that moves them." -The Sinissippi Tribune
