Wabi Sabi Pamela Paulsrud & Rosie Kelly
This spring and fall, the focus at Whispering Woodlands with Rosie Kelly
and Pamela Paulsrud will be on Wabi-Sabi, the Eastern aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.
What better place and time than the northern woodlands to entrain our bodies to the healing frequencies and harmonies of nature?
What better place to immerse yourself in the early summer beauty or autumn's glory, while sharing in an appreciation of cosmic
order?
Meditative exercises and the observance of new
and old growth will inspire journaling and painting. Observation of sound and silence, color and form will inform pages as
they layer with a variety of materials and processes.
Without
preconceived ideas, we will explore the kind of beauty we are most deeply drawn to.
Author Leonard Koren says: "Beauty is a complex of exciting, pleasurable sensations primarily emanating from
things that make us feel more alive and connected to the world. Often these feelings are accompanied by a compelling
sense of truth, goodness and love."
Projects/structures
will be developed incorporating Wabi-Sabi elements.
Suggested reading: Leonard Koren's book, Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers,
Poets & Philosophers and Wabi-Sabi: Further Thoughts by Leonard Koren (Mar 17, 2015)

| Pam -n- Rosie Team |
Rosie Kelly - Love of language prompted Rosie's interest in word-art. She has studied with master teachers in the lettering
and book arts over decades. The handmade book appeals to her because of its tactile properties and its many design possibilities
and challenges. Several of her handmade books are included in the permanent collection of the Newberry Library in Chicago.
Calligraphy guilds in Japan and New Zealand have invited her to teach, which she accepted with joy. She has taught
for calligraphy guilds across the US. Her instructional book: Beyond Paste Paper: Artists' Books was published in 2012.
Rosie plays with word, line, color and shape because she must. Her Muse insists.
