Jewelry and Flower Arrangement
EXHIBITION AND TRUNK SHOW

On June 19th and 20th Ayaka Nishi, jeweler, and Mariko Nishi, Ikebana artist and teacher, will exhibit at Brooklyn Workshop Gallery in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Mariko Nishi, an acknowledged artist from the School of Sensho-Ikenobo works in both modern and traditional arranging forms. Ikebana is a style originally inherited from early forms of Buddhist altar offerings circa 500 A.D., and continues to be developed to the present day by artists devoted to perfecting the joining of living forms (flowers) with sculptural principles. Mariko is known in Japan not only for her exquisite work but also for her teaching. During this special event she offers a workshop alongside her exhibit to the NY community.

Ayaka Nishi grew up in the magical world of her mother’s art. She too is fully versed in the details of nature and the principles of space. Not only flowers, but also spider webs, fish scales, honeycombs, wings, and bones inspire Ayaka’s meticulous work. Following upon the netsuke traditions for which Japan is famous, Ayaka is a superb crafts artist in her precise and elegant forms. No detail is too small for her attention. Her work is made from materials from sterling to copper and incorporates pearls and semi-precious stones. Her already popular Spine Bracelet will be available for public viewing and order.

Ayaka’s work has been featured in many magazines throughout Japan and the United States. Her pieces will be highlighted in ELLE August issue 2010.
