Stroman: Zen Circle

To Shop
Exploring the Japanese Zen Buddhist concept of wabi-sabi, the
compositions in Zen Circle Series concentrate on the tension
between nature and man-made items positioned on a simple,
austere background. The circle, which was so prevalent in the
Millstone Series, is now downplayed as either a textural edge of
a curved surface or incised into the background or lightly
painted onto the background area. This is an effort to direct
attention to the inherent beauty of impermanence in wabi-sabi by
focusing attention on the play between the natural items and
those man-made.
