"what objects express our understanding of the universe, or create that understanding in others?
those suggesting natural processes.
irregular. intimate. unpretentious. earthy. murky. simple.”
“what are the lessons of the universe?
truth comes from the observation of nature. all things are impermanent.
mud, paper, and bamboo, in fact, have more intrinsic wabi-sabi qualities & value than do gold, silver, and diamonds.”
leonord koren in ‘wabi sabi - for artists, designers, poets & philosophers’
