"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.

Mother Fool's will be donating 10% of our proceeds to the East Timor Action Network sister city project.

The Madison-Ainaro Sister City Alliance, a project of ETAN-Madison, has organized several delegations to Ainaro, including one this March. Previous Tour de Timor bike rides have raised thousands of dollars to prevent and investigate domestic violence in Ainaro in 2009; to bring two Ainaro community leaders to Madison in 2008; to help fund a joint international / Timorese election observer project in 2007; and to provide grants to women-s income-generation projects, sustainable agriculture groups, a local radio station, and other community-led projects in Ainaro, East Timor.
