A small child awakes to find blackened leaves falling from her bedroom ceiling, threatening to quietly overwhelm her. Sometimes you wake up with nothing to look forward to . . .
As she wanders around a world that is complex, puzzling and alienating, she is overtaken by a myriad of feelings.
Just as it seems all hope is lost, the girl returns to her bedroom to find that a tiny red seedling has grown to fill the room with warm light.
Astonishing Perth artist Shaun Tan's, 'The Red Tree' is a series of imaginary landscapes conjured up by Shaun Tan's masterful and miraculous art. As a kind of fable, 'The Red Tree' seeks to remind us that, though some bad feelings are inevitable, they are always tempered by hope.
