Ikebana Liturgy Of Love

Ikebana – Liturgy of Love illustrates Myriam England’s novel transfiguration of Ikebana into a meditative floral art for the Christian Liturgy. While retaining fidelity to the aesthetic requirements of its Japanese origin she has successfully transformed this art intoa deeper interpretive vechile of Christian faith. In the process of composing her arrangements, Myriam England transforms her self into a Christian alchemist and her compositions touch the numinous as products of her faith lifting each arrangement from a purely artistic composition to the higher realm of a Christian charisma. Myriam England’s compositions are further enhanced by the learned texts of philosopher – priest Peter Serracino Inglott. Ikabana – Liturgy of Love is a publication that combines a visual, meditative and philosophical approach to a Christian reinterpretation of an ancient Oriental art.
