Her first item was depicting the Fall season, where she used a sunflower, exhibiting the brown seeds more than the yellow petals and also alamanda petals only floating, leaving the scene to the imagination of the viewer to appreciate the aspects of Fall. </p><p>The second one was in a translucent container which had protrusions on one side, which she took advantage to depict Surface, of the slender caladium leaf with its own stalk giving it a linear direction which was appealing. </p><p>The third she used three water glasses giving an ascendant/descendant structure and complimented them with ordinary materials . </p><p>The last one was in a slightly tinted vase where she used white lilies and red flowers tied together with wire and gently filled the vase with water through a cardboard tube. She explained to the audience, that if she used a mug to pour water, the bunch of flowers will change its intended position.That was from an experienced sensei. Transluscence, water as part of composition and elegance was handled well.</p><p>There were lots of apologies for absence.</p><p>Malathi Pandurang read out the offer made by the President of Cholamandal Artist’s Village Gallerie and Workshop halls for our Annual exhiition in January.The meeting ended with some refreshments.</p><p>Ms Molly Cherians arrangements</p><p>1.

Sogetsu Chennai members' face-to-face meeting was convened at ABK DOSAKAI after a COVID break
of 2 years. After meeting online, 16 members attended the first face to face meeting in several years! The meeting began on a sombre note, as we paid respects to the memory of two inspiring individuals; Shri Pandurang spouse of our dear mentor
Mrs Malathi Pandurang and former Japanese PM Mr Shinzo Abe. We began with a 2-minute silent introspection in their memory.<p></p>
