“Better by far to see the simplicity of raw silk’s beauty and the uncarved block.”
- Lao Tzu
To see the beauty in something, we don’t need to dig deep.
We can find beauty in the simple things, which we might easily overlook.
To take a material of beauty and impose too much ego upon it, over-working it, has neither beauty nor simplicity.
To observe, and appreciate the beauty of raw simplicity of materials, is what drives and inspires the true artistan.
Used skilfully, simplicity combined with a clear mind, is a beautiful thing.
