Hi ya! How're you doing today? In harmony with the flow of the universe, are we? Help yourself to a steamingly refreshing mug of coffee and a virtual doughnut, why don't'cha! Thanks for dropping down out of cyberspace. Say...you didn't run into any Bonsai trees on your way down, did you?
Japanese botanical artist Makoto Azuma’s flower
arrangements are, quite literally, out of this world. His beautiful
plants were recently launched into outer space as a part of his latest
project, ‘Exobiotonica’. The launch took place on July 15 at the Nevada
Black Rock Desert, with the help of Sacramento-based independent space
program, JP Aerospace.
“I wanted to see the movement and beauty of plants and
flowers suspended in space,” said Azuma, who is well known in Japan for
his extravagant performances involving flowers. There was this one time
when he stomped on hundreds of flowers during a musical performance.
Once, he stuffed flowers into glass jars and filled them with water-like
sardines.
He has also created office chairs and Hello Kitty dolls
entirely covered in green grass.
Check out some of the bonsai trees Nong and I saw last week at the Montreal Botanical Garden. In the one featuring yours truly, I am a mere 72 compared to the tree which is 90 years old!
See ya, eh!
