Inspiration: "Wabi sabi" is the Japanese concept of appreciating the ephemoral and imperfect. When I traveled to Japan, I was drawn to the colors of handcrafts that represented this way of life: faded blues, fire-charred blacks, earthy ceramics, and time-worn grays. This piece draws on that timeless palette with a cascade of square blocks falling in an organic pattern across the canvas. In my listing photos, you will see closeups to give you a full sense of the visual texture in the art. Medium: My artwork merges technology (no AI) with traditional art practices. Each painting begins with hand-blotted papers that are scanned into Photoshop. Using this robust software as an artistic tool, I cut and meticulously layer the papers to build my compositions. I can use the scanned papers in their original form, vary the level of transparency, and even alter the colors. I make design decisions based on my own artistic vision, and also to accommodate client requests. This flexibility allows my art to go beyond what's possible with traditional media while still keeping in touch with its hand-made roots. I employ a fine-art printer who ensures my high-res digital files are printed perfectly, mounted on sturdy wood stretchers with 1​/​4" float-mount frames, wired and ready to hang. Specifications: This open edition 16x24" fine-art giclée print on canvas will stand out in any space, commercial or residential. Other sizes and finishes can be ordered. Framed in a brushed silver colored wood floater frame. Free domestic shipping.
