This group of work is about seeing deeply. The Japanese term Wabisabi has its roots in Zen Buddhism, and is a comprehensive aesthetic system that leads us to a deeper appreciation of life as a whole.

Truth comes from the observation of nature. All things are impermanent...all things are imperfect...all things are incomplete and are in a constant never-ending state of becoming or dissolving into nothingness. There is great beauty in the inconspicuous and ephemoral. Wabisabi is an appreciation of the evanescence of life....and of our own mortality.

"Things wabi-sabi are expressions of time frozen. They are made of materials that are visibly vulnerable to the effects of weathering and human treatment. They record the sun, wind, rain, heat and cold in a language of discoloration, rust, tarnish, stain, warping, shrinking, shrivelling, and cracking. Their nicks, chips, bruises, scars, dents, peeling and other forms of attrition are a testament to histories of use and misuse. Though things wabi-sabi may be extremely faint, fragile or dessicated, they still possess an undiminished poise and strength of character." - Leonard Koren
