苔玉森林是国际知名景观建筑和设计事务所 Nomad Studio的最新力作，该作品在 2021 年6月的费城花卉展（美国最负盛名的园艺活动）开幕周末上惊艳了所有观众。 

Philadelphia, June, 2021. Kokedama Forest, the latest project by Nomad Studio, an internationally awarded landscape architecture and design studio, has surprised the crowds during the opening weekend at the Philadelphia Flower Show 2021, the most reputed horticulture and gardening event held in the United States.

这个临时装置是一片1000平方英尺的微型雕塑森林，1200多棵林苗如苔玉般嵌套在一个细巧的金属网刻成的倒置圆顶内。它得到了观众和组织的高度认可，并揽获三个奖项：金奖、景观主要展览总督奖（展示最具创新或独特设计的景观展览），以及宾夕法尼亚州花园俱乐部特别成就奖。

The ephemeral installation, a 1,000 SQF miniature sculptural forest consisting of more than 1,200 forestry seedling kokedamas nested within an inverted dome carved out from a fragile and intricate metal network, has received exceptional recognition from both the audience and the organization, being honored with a total of three awards:  The Gold Medal, The Governor’s Trophy for the Landscape major exhibit that demonstrates most innovative or unique design and the Special Achievement Award of the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania.

一个具有第二次生命的可持续装置

A sustainable installation with a second life

作为项目理念的一部分，苔玉森林将在6月13日结束的费城花卉展之后拥有第二次生命，成为德克萨斯州达拉斯NorthPark Center收藏的一部分。

目前展出的数百株本地树苗，将被位于特拉华县中心的泰勒植物园保留。泰勒植物园是一个历史悠久的组织，其使命是保护、提升和分享他们的遗产、收藏品和景观，以创造和激励自然世界的管理者。

As part of the project philosophy, after its run in the Philadelphia Flower Show, ending on June 13, Kokedama Forest will have a second life becoming a part of the collection at NorthPark Center in Dallas, Texas. 

In regards to the hundreds of native seedlings currently on display, they will be adopted by Tyler Arboretum, located in the heart of Delaware County, a historical organization whose mission is to preserve, enhance, and share their heritage, collections, and landscapes, to create and inspire stewards of the natural world.

关于土壤栖息者的重要思考

An important reflection about soil dwellers

苔玉森林的第二次生命，与其在费城花卉展上的首次安装一样重要，因为它完善了这雕塑般的微型森林的生命周期。通过苔玉森林，Nomad Studio 的创始合伙人 William E. Roberts 和 Laura Santín从视觉上展现了土壤居民的潜在价值，以及他们如何与植物紧密合作，从而为所有人创造合适的栖息地。“NorthPark Center、泰勒植物园以及主办苔玉森林的其他合作者的慷慨赞助，确保了该项目将继续激励人们反思此中真意。”

This second act of Kokedama Forest is just as important as its initial installation at the Philadelphia Flower Show since it completes the life cycle of the sculptural micro-woodland. With Kokedama Forest, William E. Roberts and Laura Santín, founding partners of Nomad Studio, make a visual reflection upon the hidden importance of soil dwellers and how their indissoluble partnership with plants creates a suitable habitat for all of us. “The generosity of NorthPark Center, Tyler Arboretum and the rest of the collaborators that will host Kokedama Forest assures that the narrative of the project continues to inspire people to reflect upon its message.”

在参观期间，客人们被邀请进入微型林地，并被悬浮的苔玉包围:数百棵幼苗自豪地展示着它们与7.5英尺高的三维金属结构所支撑土壤的亲密关系。这个组合是由钢编织而成的，在所有的生命网络中都隐含着力量和精致的矛盾统一。

During their visit, guests have been welcomed to enter the micro-woodland and be surrounded by the levitating kokedamas: hundreds of seedlings proudly displaying their intimate relationship with soil supported by a 7.5 feet high three-dimensional metal structure. This assemblage has been woven with steel inviting the contradictory blend of strength and delicacy that is implicit in all living networks.

通过这个震撼的雕塑微型森林，Nomad关注的事实是：土壤是地球的关键栖息地之一，必不可少，却常被低估。

With this stimulating sculptural micro-forest, Nomad focuses on the fact that soil is one of the key habitats of the planet which too often is undervalued despite being indispensable.

苔玉是土壤和植物之间亲密关系的诗意物化，是自然和艺术令人鼓舞的融合。

Nomad 发现 Kazumi Garden ，一家处于苔玉艺术前沿的美国家族企业，是手工制作 1,200 苔玉的完美盟友，这些苔玉是临时装置的一部分。Nomad 说道，“Kazumi 的敬畏心、工艺以及他们在日常工作和装置中表现出来的对美的承诺，使 Kazumi 的家庭成为苔玉森林不可或缺的一部分，没有他们这个项目就不可能成功”。

同样，Nomad 依靠 Timber Forge Woodworks，一个定制设计和工艺制造车间来负责金属结构的制造。Timber Forge 的联合创始人 Louie Andracchio表示：“我们一直希望自己的作品让人觉得它承载着故事，而苔玉森林通过一种令人信服的方式，传达出尊重我们周围世界以及我们内心世界的重要性”。“Nomad 团队的愿景是将自然雕塑与人造结构融合在身临其境的体验中，让你真正感受到人、植物和我们一起共享的土地，需要彼此才能繁荣兴旺。”

Kokedamas(*) are a poetic materialization of the intimate relationship between soil and plants, an inspiring blend of nature and art. 

Nomad has found in Kazumi Garden, a family business that is at the forefront of the art of kokedamas in the United States, the perfect ally to hand craft the 1,200 kokedamas that are part of the ephemeral installation. “Kazumi’s respect and craftsmanship, as well as their commitment with beauty demonstrated both in their daily work and with the installation, make Kazumi’s family an indispensable part of Kokedama Forest without which it would not be possible”, in the words of Nomad.

Similarly, Nomad counted on Timber Forge Woodworks, the custom design and craft fabrication workshop responsible for the fabrication of the metal structure. “We always want our work to feel like it has a story to tell, and Kokedama Forest is an incredibly compelling way to communicate the importance of respecting the world around us, as well as underneath of us,” said Timber Forge co-founder Louie Andracchio. “The Nomad team’s vision for melding natural sculptures with man-made structures in an immersive experience makes you truly feel that people, plants, and the earth we all share, need each other to thrive.”

最后，Nomad 还与 Pinelands Nursery 进行了合作，后者是重新造林的本地植物专家，提供了本地林业幼苗。

Finally, Nomad has collaborated with Pinelands Nursery, specialist in native plants for reforestation, which have supplied the autochthonous forestry seedlings.

Kazumi Garden（卡祖米花园）:为苔玉森林制作了1300个苔玉

Kazumi Garden的故事始于梅塞德斯•玛诺萨尔瓦在日本拜访家人时，发现了苔玉的艺术。在她儿子埃德加多的推动下，最初的爱好转变成了一种生活方式。埃德加多很快发现了kokedama作为一种艺术形式的潜力。多亏了苔玉, Kazumi Garden已经发展成为一个基于其成员的福祉和通过手工制造的苔玉向世界传递美的使命的家族企业。

Kazumi Garden: Crafting 1,300 Kokedamas for Kokedama Forest. 

The story of Kazumi Garden began when Mercedes Manosalva discovered the art of Kokedama while visiting her family in Japan. What started as a hobby transformed into a way of life thanks to the impulse of her son Edgardo, who quickly saw the potential of kokedamas as an art form. Thanks to kokedamas, Kazumi Garden has developed as a family business based on the well-being of its members and the mission of offering beauty to the world through the artisanal creation of its kokedamas.
