...improper art has a kinetic or moving quality, proper art has static, or still quality. Improper art excites the mind to move toward or away from its object. Proper art brings mind to rest.

Robot sculpture assembled from found objects by Brian Marshall - Wilmington, DE. Items included in my sculptures vary from vintage household kitchen items to recycled industrial scrap.

My Wabi-sabi entry for The Sunday Challenge.
Wabi-sabi, from Wikipedia:
"If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi." "[Wabi-sabi] nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.
The Object.
Another image from the series I've been working on.
I met this guy on the side of the road near where I live. He was walking along the side of an empty secluded road, wearing torn, dirty clothes, a packet in his left hand and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier on his right side. I stopped and asked to take his photo and he replied with a big smile and a very enthusiastic, "Yes sir!". I explained my assignment to him, and he emptied out everything he had in his pockets at the time. This was everything. I noticed he had a '26' tattooed on the back of his left hand, which I questioned him about. He then told me that he was in a gang, the '26's'. There were also 27's and 28's and a few others. I had heard a few rumors about these gangs before but never really new the whole story behind them He then proceeded to tell me that he got the tattoo whilst serving time in jail for rape and murder. Thats what the '26' gang was notorious for. He served a full twelve years, he said, in 8 different jails. Twelve years seems a bit short of a punishment for an act like that, but I took his word for it none the less. He said hes a changed man now though, and he likes to live a nomadic, simple and free life by himself with the company of his dog, whose name was Meisie, just appreciating each day for what it is, and surprisingly enough, he said he was happy with the little bit he had. Despite his dark past, he seemed to be a rather wise and friendly old man.

William Lever was an enthusiastic collector of Chinese porcelain and other Chinese works of art. In these rooms you can see objects that he selected mainly for their beauty and craftsmanship. Today we also value them for what they can tell us about the lifestyles and beliefs of Chinese people in the past.
Lever began to collect Chinese porcelain in the 1890s. He particularly admired blue and white wares and pots with colourful enamel glazes. During the 17th and 18th centuries these types of ceramics came to be known in the West as 'china', from their country of origin. Europeans displayed them in their homes as a sign of their wealth and good taste.
Later in life, Lever collected other forms of Chinese art, including carved headstones, cloisonné enamels and painted glass pictures.
Made in China
Room 7 features objects linked to the three main belief systems in China: Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism.
In room 8 you can see objects that were made to be used in wealthy Chinese homes. You can also see objects that were made especially to be exported to the West.
For centuries China resisted all attempts by Western Europeans to trade or settle there. From 1700 European merchants were permitted to trade from the southern Chinese port of Guangzhou, known in the West as Canton. This trade was strictly controlled.
The ships of the British East India Company took English woollens and Indian cottons to China. They brought back tea, porcelain and silk. These were considered luxury goods and were very expensive.
Over time, Europeans wanted items that were made in China but influenced by Western styles. Chinese craftsmen made objects for export that were a mixture of designs from East and West.
