The
Japanese have a concept they call wabi-sabi that
speaks to the art of imperfection and the
willingness to accept things as they are. Wabi-sabi
is really about process,not the end result.
Wabi-sabi requires that we take time to pay
attention to imperfections, hidden treasures, and to
slow down. To practice wabi-sabi means to accept
nature’s process, including impermanence. Some of
the materials in my paintings include an old scarf,
a broken guitar neck without strings and an
unattached violin neck. These things could be
dismissed as ugly and without value, but wabi-sabi
has taught me that we are in a constant state of
change, and to value the moment/the now.
