Floral Arrangements for Special Events
Colour matters to me, be it glorious or subtle, spectacular or simple. There is a meditative eloquence to an empty, just-found or freshly-painted room, but on a day to day basis, I find a room to be empty of spirit if there is not a sprig or branch, a forced pot of bulbs coming to life, some blossom to catch the eye. Fabric and music matter too, though music can be that of silence and just the quality of light coming into the room throughout the day. These are all aspects I take into consideration when I'm designing for a space or for an event. That the eye be answered before it realizes it’s looking for something is important to me.
