KENSHO SCROLLS

The titles of the pieces all include the word “kensho”, which is a Zen phrase referring to experiences of seeing the true nature of things, the path to achieving enlightenment.

Presented as scrolls for contemplation, they are realized in diverse materials including Japanese washi paper and gold, silver and other metallic leaf papers, expressing the different dimensions of our experiences of the beautiful moments in our lives. Each image is created in a given size and material only once, making it a unique piece resonating with the idea of ichigo-ichie, “one time, one meeting” celebrating the singularity of each moment, embodied with particular clarity in the aesthetics of the Way of Tea.
