A Japanese term for the impermanence of life a bittersweet pathos. #mononoaware #miyabi

Falling leaves, the sounds of birds singing, the wind whistling in the trees.

Not seeking it but aware of nature in transition – stop, look and you’ll note its fleeting lightness, depth, beauty, sadness, no fear, only acceptance.

It was after a busy dye day. Carelessly walking between the house and my studio after the rain – languid moths floating on the surface- leaves fallen into the open dye water- mixing my blue dye colours with death….life has just been extinguished by the water.

A passing ceremony.

Overhead the clouds reflected in the water. Soon to be gone.. my image

Sandy coloured rippled textures captured as shibori on crepe silk.

A regard for this impermanent state of mono no aware between dreams.
