WHY Do WE NEED BEAUTY?
Aesthetics is the philosophy& beauty.
Beholding a beautiful scene, natural or cultivated, immerses our mind into the here and now. Mental noise disappears, the limbic brain releases dopamine, and we feel good,. emotional/mental state softens, opens, and compassion grows. People haves need for intimate connection with each other and with the natural world.
A garden space can be crafted into a personal sanctuary, a space to cultivate connection, peace and harmony. As an aesthetic pruner, I work at the Intersection of horticulture, landscape design and arboriculture — a unique combination of experiences and education that I’ve gained over the past four decades. I listen for the feel and function the client intends for the garden, and endeavor to cultivate this over the seasons and years as I refine the architecture of the plantings.
Revealing the essential shape and movement of a tree
I build upon a pattern that is repeated, with variation, at ever smaller scales. Repetition of horizontal branch layers has seals has a calming effect on our nervous system, cultivating a state of unity and peace. Rhythms of form creates a sense of Infinity and freedom.
We seek beauty because because it gives us the feeling of grounded transcendence.
