Jodi Rose Ballet

Happy Australian National Tree Day!
Today we are celebrating the release of Our Love Affair with Trees, the new book by Jodi Rose and Len Metcalf.
The book presents impressions from artists, botanists, recreational gardeners, entrepreneurs, nurses, children and more. These reflections are interspersed with lovingly composed photographs of dancers and trees, exploring the interdependence between humankind and our beautiful leafy counterparts.
Designed and produced by Len’s Journal. Len Metcalf is renowned as a leading Australian photographic educator and landscape photographer. His unique vision of nature and the human body presented in this book complements 20 personal interviews I conducted with people around the world who expressed the sacred role of trees and nature in their lives.
Starting its life we have created a limited edition of 100 beautifully designed hardback books. Read more about it here:

If you wish to order a copy, the cutoff date for pre-ordering is 31 August. Postage is calculated at checkout based on weight.
Thank you for supporting our collective love of trees.

The Tree of Life

To me, everyday in different ways we have a chance to be creative. Sometimes it is in small ways, other times in big ways. And then at those certain moments the richness of our life is felt more keenly. When working towards a joint vision and collaborating on a project there can be great satisfaction! Learning and growing, experiencing and stretching. Thank you Mir Kousha Ghorayshi, Brianna Law and Jason Fuchs for the journey we shared and will share in the future!!!
