Abstract: Based on the visitor log at the Harvard Forest "Hemlock Hospice Art Exhibition", more than 500 people have viewed its 18 installations since the October 7, 2017 opening. Many of these visitors also have contributed to the exhibition by leaving messages on ribbons tied to the "Exchange Tree". Ribbons on the "Exchange Tree" from October 7, 2017 to November 23, 2017 were collected and the messages were transcribed. Text-analysis software was used to study patterns in the messages.
