Thanks to my good friend at National Parks, I got a couple of tickets to the Singapore Garden Festival in July and saw the many interesting and also creative exhibits.
Among the usual indoor and outdoor garden exhibits by local landscape designers, garden centers, private collectors, and hobby horticulturists, I found the section by horticulture artists the most intriguing.
Floral arrangements and Ikebana are not new and definitely brings in a human aesthetic sense to the already beautiful symmetry (or asymmetry for that matter) of nature's designs. But these dreamscape-like arrangements, blending flowers and plants with other conventional art media such as paint, canvas, or paper, demand a different skill and creative sensibility. Great show!
