This is one website, regardless of your ability to read Japanese or not, that is worth stumbling through. Today, I have gone to Japan and back to show you the works of Keita Kawasaki, an artist who works in flowers - and has a website that transports you completely into his world...
Keita Kawasaki has been creating for more than twenty years and is credited with being a pioneer in modern floral design. He is prolific and his website is comprehensive. He is a master at constructing and assembling, and although sometimes the works feel too controlled for my own personal style, there is no denying his ability to 'fabricate' and make it look unintentional or natural. His conceptual work and his more traditional bouquets all left me with wanting to see them closer, too see how everything was held or bound together.
If you are looking for an escape on this overcast day, click on his site, then click on the beetle when he appears from the right side of the screen, turn the sound up a little, and explore his leaf menu.
And I love that floral afro - from his 'People and Flowers' series.

fascinating about the plants but will a milkweed hair style really become all the rage?

This guy is SERIOUSLY creative!!! Go to his website and feast your eyes. (Click on the bug to enter, click "menu", find "works" and then click on the japanese words along the bottom. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite so beautiful.

Keita Kawasaki's website is beautiful.
If you're able to read and watch the movies please do so, he is an inspiration. Oh and he's an College of Arts & Craft graduate at that.
Thank you for introducing Keita Kawasaki's work to us all!
