Whispering Flowers - Ikebana

Wispering Flowers wil Ikebana arrangementen tonen geïnspireerd door de schoonheid van één enkele soort bloemen. Hun typische kleuren, lijnen, vormen en betekenissen dicteren de vormen, materialen en kleuren van de schikkingen. Deze aanpak, waarbij bloemen zelf de hoofdrol spelen en geen voorafbepaald concept aan de basis van een schikking ligt, geeft aanleiding tot een grote diversiteit aan traditionele als meer eigentijdse werken en zowel kleinschalige als grote Land Art stukken. Whispering Flowers raakt aan de essentie van Ikebana met haar typische aandacht voor vormen en structuren en haar inspiratiebronnen diep geworteld in de natuur. Whispering Flowers showcases Ikebana arrangements inspired by the beauty of a single kind of flower. Typical colours, quintessential lines and inherent symbolism dictate the shapes of the arrangements. This approach, with one kind of flower playing leading role, leaves room for interpretation and gives rise to a fantastic diversity of both traditional as well as outstanding contemporary Ikebana pieces. 75 international talents present their most creative designs in this book, adding up to a delightful album and a representative cross-section of today''s buzzing Ikebana scene. Whispering Flowers will appeal to flower lovers all around the globe and is a colourful addition to our previously released books on Ikebana: Ikebana Today, Contemporary Ikebana and Ikebana through all Seasons.
