WABI SABI IMPROV - by Cone 9 Colab

We are like minded creators who have formed this collaboration to illuminate this aesthetic for others. Our objective is to illuminate the Wabi Sabi aesthetic to others through our art forms.   Wabi Sabi is sometimes described as the beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.” Characteristics of Wabi Sabi include asymmetry, roughness, simple beauty, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature.

ROBERT DIKEN - is a multi-discipline creator making art that is experimental, abstract and a spontaneous surprise in clay, acrylic, collage and digital formats. Open mind to new ideas, without overthinking or interfering with the inspiration.

SIMON KELLER - spent a childhood with clay artist parents in a medieval castle followed by over 10 years of clay experience in Japan. My work is reduction: wild clay and natural wood ash glaze, occasionally a rock. Less is more, let the material speak!

JOHN MARRON - is a lifelong Zen writer, artist, publisher, community arts leader, life Coach and lay monk student whose work embraces wabi-sabi, dada, pure play, chance, sumi-e gestural abstraction and poured acrylic.

Our event of August 14 is in collaboration with CLAY DAYS in Metuchen, which is featuring ceramic and other artists in locations around the Borough.
