On Flowers
Amy Merrick is a rare and special kind of artist who uses flowers to help us see the familiar in a completely new way. 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. 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 centrepiece or elevating wild and weedy blooms foraged from city sidewalks.
We learn how to send flowers like a florist, and how to arrange them like a farm girl. 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 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.
