Time’s Shadow

Nothing Lasts, Nothing is Finished, Nothing is Perfect

Gary Anthes & Carolee Jakes

June 23, 2021 to July 17, 2021

The Japanese have an artistic philosophy that reveres the beauty of aging. It holds in high esteem people, natural elements, and manufactured things that are old, imperfect, and incomplete. Sometimes called wabi-sabi, it stands in opposition to the classic Western notions of perfection, beauty, and youth. We chose the works for this show with that aesthetic in mind. In them we see a combination of mystery and a serene melancholy. For us, these attributes contribute to feelings of aloneness (but not necessarily loneliness) and tranquility.
