No other bonsai style more accurately conveys the natural environment, and the relationship the environment evokes on the form of trees, than the collaborative unit of the forest. Over the course of tonight’s stream, we’ll be exploring the traditional form of the forest formation, the fundamental elements that dictate our arrangement of trunks, and how we can manipulate these concepts. We’ll dive into how we can deviate from the fundamental ideas that have formed almost every existing forest bonsai, and explore how we can truly represent the environment and all its elements–climate, weather, landscape, and more. Learn how we utilize these concepts to represent all the diversity of the forests we see across our expansive natural environment to accurately convey these concepts in a miniaturized form. Join us on Ryan’s journey across North America in his growth as a bonsai artist, represented through his exploration of the forest. Tonight, 6pm PST, live.bonsaimirai.com.
