I love the idea of Wabi Sabi. Emma Fexeus of emmasblog put together a great piece on wabi-sabi and a list of resources. Thanks emma!

Wabi Sabi, a little more background

“Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry. Keep things clean and unencumbered but don’t sterilize” says Leonard Koren, author of Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers. That would be exactly what I think defines good interior design. And that is the reason why I am so drawn to the Japanese philosophy of wabi sabi, and would like to share some of what I've found out lately.

“I think it’s also interesting to think about silence,” Mr. Gioni added.

something to think about...

“There was a time when some serious thought that later got reduced to catchphrases nonetheless was serious, and nonetheless did convey something about the art,” Mr. Storr said. “The turning of ideas into pitches, so to speak, was at the cost of ideas. We lost some good ideas because they got turned into spiels.”

OK, here they are. They are all sort of in the same series but a bit different. Not sure if which one I like if any. If there is anyone out there, what do you think?

wednesday/thursday sketches





Now I just need to convert the images from yesterday so that I can post them as well. I had a good day today but don't feel that I am "there" yet in the drawings. I still need more time to work on these. I am trying to bring in more of my work to the project. Then to bring back in the student art in a way that works. More later. Ouch my head hurts!
