If you're at a loose end in Auckland this Sunday, why not visit the Sogetsu Ikebana Exhibition at Eden Garden?

Ad for Sogetsu Ikebana Exhibition at Eden Garden

Assorted ikebana arrangements, including one of brightly coloured bamboo

Pale and bright pink oriental lilies, pale pink stocks, and twisty things in a black metal vase shaped like 2 inverted pyramids with their apices pointing at each other

Orange flower (possibly Heliconia) reminiscent of a chonky bird of paradise, arranged in an orangey-brown ceramic vase with ribbed cardboard packaging arranged in an N shape

As soon as the work is wrapped- it’s time to get on with this years epic woodblock print. Norse mythology on a large scale!

Today is hooks and wires and wrapping day.
15 paintings
Complete and ready to hang tomorrow.
I feel proud that I have completed a body of work but not satisfied with what I have done and definitely not finished.
The dissatisfaction is mostly about being up so close to it for so long. Go me.
