On Flowers: Lessons from an Accidental Florist

內容簡介

內容簡介 InStyle、Real Simple、《Better Homes & Gardens》與《華爾街日報》年度最佳禮物書艾美・梅里克是一位少見而獨特的藝術家，她透過花卉讓我們用全新的眼光看見熟悉的事物。她的天賦在於從意想不到之處發掘樂趣——例如將春日的陽光花束放進紙咖啡杯中——並顛覆我們的既定印象：不論是將超市買來的康乃馨變成驚艷全場的主花飾，還是讓城市人行道上採集的野花與雜草升級為優雅花藝作品。她善於運用隨處可見的自然之美——葉子、樹枝、種莢、落花——講述一段段關於時間與空間的故事。《On Flowers》開篇是梅里克以多年經驗凝練而成的花藝入門教學，從選材到掌握和諧比例的技巧，一應俱全。接著，她帶領讀者展開一場感性之旅：觀察紐約市的花草景象、回到她家族在新罕布夏州鄉村的避暑小屋、前往華盛頓州外海的花卉農場工作，以及在京都一間如珠寶盒般的小花店學習日式插花(池坊)。書中教我們如何像花店老闆般送花，又如何像農村少女般自然地插花。我們將在平凡野花中感受到細膩的情感，也能讚嘆香氣馥郁、花瓣層疊的華麗花朵。這本書是一部花藝靈感的精選集，是一封獻給自然的情書，出自一位非典型、卻令人驚豔的花藝師之手。A singular, personal celebration of the beauty and possibilities of natureAmy Merrick is a rare and special kind of artist who uses flowers to help us see the familiar in a completely new way. Her gift is to revel in the unexpected—like a sunny spring arrangement housed in a paper coffee cup—and to overturn preconceptions, whether she’s transforming a bouquet of supermarket carnations into a breathtaking centerpiece or elevating wild and weedy blooms foraged from city sidewalks. She uses the beauty that is waiting to be discovered all around us—in leaves, branches, seedpods, a fallen blossom—to tell a story of time and place.Merrick begins On Flowers with a primer containing all her hard-won secrets on the art of flower arranging, from selecting materials to mastering pleasing proportions. Then she brings readers along on her journey, with observations on flowers in New York City and at her family’s summer home in rural New Hampshire, working on a flower farm off the coast of Washington State, and studying ikebana in a jewel-box flower shop in Kyoto. We learn how to send flowers like a florist, and how to arrange them like a farm girl. We discover the poignancy in humble wildflowers, and also celebrate the luxury of fragrant blousy blooms. Collected here is an anthology of floral inspiration, a love letter to nature by an exceptional, accidental florist.FEATURING• GORGEOUS PHOTOS OF MERRICK’S EXCEPTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS• DOZENS OF HOW-TOS, INCLUDING: ARRANGING FLOWERS LIKE A FARM GIRL• A GUIDE TO THE BEST MUSEUMS AROUND THE WORLD TO VISIT IF YOU LOVE FLOWERS, INCLUDING: MARIANNE NORTH GALLERY AT KEW、ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER MUSEUM、NAMI KAWA CLOISONNÉ MUSEUM、NEUE GALERIE...• AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO ARRANGING BASICS
