BRONX SAILOR WABI SABI

BRONX SAILOR WABI SABI is an 8X6 limited edition, signed print. It was made with a found studio photo portrait. I added it to a found photo cardboard frame from the Bronx which I made patriotic with the red, white, and blue. Note our beleaguered Capitol on the studio's painted background. Bronx cheer to those “working” in it.
On the upper left are the Japanese characters for wabi sabi. The work is part of my on-going wabi series See peterjketchum.com. The wabi-sabi project uses stuff in less than perfect condition to make art. I leave the found photo or object alone except coloring and enhancing the image. wabi-sabi is an ancient Japanese aesthetic. It values the imperfect, and the simple reminders of lives lived. #foundphoto #sailor #navy #patriotic #bronx #wabisabi #japaneseaesthetic #peterwelch #peterjketchum #ketchumart #artspanprints
