Wabi-Sabi


New Work by Lynnette Black

On view April 4, 2018 - June 30, 2018

Lynnette Black, Wood Nymph, Intalgio with stencils and hand coloring, 2017

Highpoint is excited to present Lynnette Black’s new exhibit in the Threshold gallery. The artist offered the following remarks:

This exhibit is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic, Wabi-Sabi, which is based on the acceptance of transience & imperfection. There is beauty in imperfection, mistakes, accidents, aging, weathering, & the natural cycles in nature & our lives. From new growth & joy to decay, sorrow & acceptance of mortality.

Like we humans, my work is flawed.  But these flaws are the evidence of the life and process of the piece - the scars and “happy accidents” that give it depth, richness and a sense of personal history.  I do not strive to be perfect in my art, but rather authentic.
