Ikebana,
the Japanese art of flower arranging, can be distilled
down to a philosophy of “less is more”. Rather
than stems stuck onto metal pins to rise from a
flat surface, I have designed a simple pleated
bowl with hollow tubes to support either thin stems
or thick ones. Each bowl is carefully assembled
from clay slabs, even tubes of clay are rolled
and cut by hand, then glazed in my distinctive
pastel colors, with subtle veins on each “petal”,
gently suggesting the flowers which they are intended
to display. Adhering to a basic principle of flower
arranging, my ikebanas come in several sizes with
the appropriate odd number of tubes.
Being hand built, sizes are approximate
and all prices subject to change.
