Foreword, Sept-Nov. 2004, Grimsby Public Art Gallery, Grimsby.

"[Frank Simon's] piece The Name of the Tree will be a story written directly onto the leaves of the tree. Many people will see only glimpses of the story, and once autumn arrives, his story will fall to the ground and be blown away. Frank invites people to interact with him during the process – to talk, ask questions and perhaps to share their own stories with him." (excerpts from the Foreword to the artist’s statement)
