Current Gallery: wabi-sabi ( piece)
Nothing is Perfect. Nothing is Permanent. Nothing is Finished. Wabi-Sabi is based on the perception that, with age, things acquire a special beauty and elegance that is not contrived or artificial. Leonard Koren says it best in his book Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers. “Wabi-Sabi images force us to contemplate our own mortality, and they evoke an existential loneliness and tender sadness…. The manner in which clay cracks as it dries. The color and textural metamorphosis of metal when it tarnishes and rusts. All these represent the physical forces and deep structures that underlie our everyday world.” This exhibit is my attempt to capture and celebrate the Wabi Sabi that surrounds us, the beauty of things forgotten but not gone.
