Bring on the Bonsai
Bonsai is historically an art form that seeks to bring wild environments into the domestic space, blurring the indoor/outdoor divide. As art, bonsai requires an awareness of the natural environment: temperature, weather, water, and the organic. This awareness enlightens us to our role in the greater ecosystem. The practice of bonsai is a gesture of blending interior and exterior. It is the cultivation of organic material into a confined space, evoking the sense of a larger ecosystem in miniature.
