Our visual language is deferential to the abundance that surrounds, and the changing of the seasons -- made possible with support from the resilient network of growers, foragers, suppliers, and craftspeople we call friends. Astute students of flowers will notice the influences of Constance Spry and Sofu Teshigahara in our work-- Spry for her effusive use of overlooked materials, and Teshigahara for his reinvention of form, time and time again.
