[photo by Carol Dronsfield]Last summer I visited my 94-year old dad, who lives in a Chinese senior home. I learned many, many life lessons during my stay there. One of them was "Age has its own Beauty". It was a remark gently whispered to me by one of the residents, upon observing my attempt to "refresh" a 2-day old flower arrangement of mine. It changed my mind about removing a leaf that was beginning to yellow with age.
So, for an exhibit at Nippon Gallery in New York last fall, I chose Bird's Nest Ferns that were aged over 3- 6 months. Notice their feathery edges, fading striations and gently curling shapes.
I think they give this arrangement a unique, soulful sensibility. Do you agree?
