Description

Join Mahina + Soul x Wild Sisters Book Company for an enchanting evening celebrating the beautiful art of Ikebana floral design. The book Punk Ikebana, by Louesa Roebuck is a glorious, full color book which showcases the stunning simplicity of Ikebana, a Japanese form of floral arrangement. Ikebana symbolizes the beauty of all components of the natural world working in harmony. Ikebana practitioners don't just use flowers and greenery but can add twigs, moss, stones, and even fruit. Duality is also a prominent element of ikebana"The way of the flowers" has been studied for centuries, but as acclaimed author, artist, and floral designer Louesa Roebuck demonstrates, one needs to understand the rules in order to bend them. In Punk Ikebana, Louesa composes stunning arrangements and installations that unite the cultural traditions and elegance of Japanese perspective with exhilarating freedom from convention. Working with seasonally foraged, gleaned, and sourced flora from various regions of California, Louesa reveals how cinematic floral sculptures can be created by embracing the abundance right outside your door. Inviting nature's often-overlooked treasures into your space means improvising in a moment of time, in a particular place. Exuberant compositions are created with what is on hand, establishing a harmonious dialogue with the flora, space, color, vessels, and textiles readily available. Aligning her deep commitment to the environment with her love of foraging, gleaning, and sourcing regionally, Louesa inspires you to cultivate your own vision and invite the wonders of the natural world into your home. Each attendee will join us for an evening happy hour event from 5-8 pm at Mahina + Soul in Sacramento.
