The Six Foot Platform presents Eiko Nishida

Come discover what the Universe is telling you! “Bark Tarot” is an audience-participatory installation. You are invited to approach Eiko’s sculptural tree, ask of it a question, and then choose a piece of bark to discover the answer. Each piece of bark holds a phrase snipped from a newspaper, in a myriad of languages.
