Arveil’s ephemeral installations incorporate sculptural structures with the vegetal. Happenings encapsulating the meaning of a moment, they range from stage-size public installations to personalized creations for private occasions.
In home settings, the underlying structure of a delicate sculpture reveals itself over time as the fading flowers are removed. As the ensemble bares itself, its meaning grows richer rather than dies, nurturing an intimate experience for the recipient, now sole spectator.
Arveil collaborates with A Far Cry Music Ensemble for a special February 2026 concert in Jordan Hall, Boston.
“A belated heartfelt thank you for the spectacular thought piece in the artful flower
arrangement you made for me!
In one of the many manifestations of your expressions of art, you integrate so much in
one installation— is it sculptural, ikebana, a meditation on the silk and spice roads, all of
the above and more?
Your curiosity to know, to feel, and what you find become materialized in visual and
tactile forms. There’s a sense of exhilaration and ecstasy in all this, hard to describe,
but definitely felt.”
~Yo-Yo Ma
“The stage was bare except for a single wire music stand on which rested a tablet computer and an exotic, zen flower structure. The spiky, swirly shapes of the foliage constituted a visual counterpoint to the swirls of the music—simple, yet complicated. “
~Elisa Birdseye, The Boston Music Intelligencer
