    Best filming of a show so far IMO.
    Filming sign, then tree, with no comment and ambient music. Perfect.

    Very creative designs in this show!!!
    And awesome background music that was spoiled by the tornado sirens...Coincidentally at the time I got to "THE AESTHETICS OF FAILURE".
    That was my favorite composition.
    I took time to pause and read the deep meaning.
    And I would love to buy that scroll!!!...or a print.

    Thanks for the visit Nigel. Some unusual presentations- don't think I've seen a cascade ginko before! The pot/tree/stand combination of the juniper @ 28:20--28:30 was extraordinarily coordinated. Visual weight of all elements synced perfectly, and repeating forms between pot and stand, rather than overwhelming the tree, brought my attention back to how integrated every element was in that presentation. Legs on the stand echoing the angles and shapes formed by the trunk of the tree. Nothing at all common about that juniper!

  • @jballenger9240
    @jballenger9240 Місяць тому +3

    My 2 cents. The pots very striking and well matched to the bonsai; dystopian, scroll a bold departure from the traditional; fitting for the presentation. Were more trees less prepped than in past years? Conspicuous wiring caught my eye. What do the judges say about it? Personally, not a fan of pointy, obviously carved jin; perhaps I will grow to have more appreciation. THANKS for the tour!

    Seems like such a nice, friendly and supportive community you have over there. Have you ever thought about experimenting with an exposed root project Nigel? I've heard you plant in a long tube, similar to drain pipe and slowly expose. Looks really effective in Azaleas, would love to see you have a try

    do like spring shows, notice that the club does not have the age on them. I reckon general public get so fixed on the age they forget to look at the tree, but don't you get the question of how old a lot?

      @Thimbrethil Місяць тому +3

      It is artistic statement. You have tree in concrete on top of slags, and dead bees in torn sheet metal + post app scroll in the back. It is commentary for death and survival of nature in city scape, and what we are doing to our environment.
