Such a dither!!
I dunno. Someone has to get excited about something here.

I don't see how bonsai is threatened by events like these.
Mostly the traditional styles are superior, but occasionally
someone
manages to come up with a novel idea which will eventually
become one of
the "traditional" styles. Such scolding stifles creativity and
sucks
the fun out of bonsai. No wonder we're such a geriatric group
on the
whole!
Oh, bonsai isn't "threatened."
It may not be advanced much, though.
MY point was (and is) that to call these "art" is a bit silly. I
can't imagine a real sculptor having a go.
I'm often wrong, though.
