Botanic Gardens, Desert Waves
Desert Waves is a temporary art installation for the "Autumn of the Arts" festival, in the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was created by Sogetsu, a modern school of Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. It represents giant waves, constructed from strips of bamboo. The festival runs from 4 - 25 March 2012. Today is Harmony Day, which celebrates cultural diversity in Australia each
year on 21 March. This is also the United Nations International Day for the
Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
I love your enthuiasm and writing style. I am looking forward on reading the next hub. Rated up.
ReplyDeleteI like this but I can see this sculpture is a problem for the mowers. :)
ReplyDeleteEG Camera Girl, I'd say that mowers would be happy that it's only temporary.
ReplyDeleteHarmony Day ... sounds good to me Jim.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Jim. I like this installation and it's amazing it's made of bamboo.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting representation of waves, one has to blame himself very into it, if one wants to recognize it, but it's just art.
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique and beautiful way to represent waves. Your city and your pictures never cease to amaze me. They should make you the honorary mayor. You make all of us want to come and visit your someplace. genie
ReplyDeleteMy nephew in the Gold Coast was invited to some official Japanese function. He is only 10.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post...and that wavelike structure is really nice.
ReplyDeleteThey are going to have to keep moving them to mow the grass the way it is growing these days.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting interpretation of waves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Love the look of this sculptor. Great capture Jim
