With my recent discovery of the concept Wabi- Sabi. A way of seeing and being in the world. A term that is understood differently from the aesthetic angle of: finding beauty and grace in the rustic and unassuming, to the simplicity and stripping away of excess in daily life. Just the awareness of such a perspective has inspired me as a human to absorb the beauty in the ordinary or aged. Also not unlike the country of origin of the notion- Japan; slow down and in doing so, experience a peaceful process and greater awareness.
As an artist, I discovered my work breathes with natural parallels to Wabi-Sabi’s ideas of quietude, an appreciation of imperfection and simple acceptance of the world as is.
This was a connection, which genuinely brought be comfort.
I like to bring light to such a connected perspective,in the hope that
maybe you might get more joy out of the everyday objects or quiet moments.
