Good Morning Sunshine!

Shibui Found Image Art

Now more food for thought.

Animals who live in groups form social structures. Such social structures require dominance. (Someone needs to be in charge! And in the case of Shibui? It’s the event or events that happen in our foundations we notice first!) These events delegate what is to happen, and all those things in the field around these events___these others___ become involved in a hierarchical system that supports the image as a whole. They help create the story found on the page.

Regarding the comparison of animals and Shibui; groups of animals have social structures that rely on dominance. Someone or several within the group has to be in charge and others are positioned or take on the roles as delegated support. Such social structures rely on dominance which is highly functional and understood as organizational systems. Such structures make good examples when compared with Shibui foundations because the events found in a Shibui foundation have this same kind of dominance.

Another way to think of the foundation is that the surface also known as the ground of the Shibui foundation is a field-event occurrence. The events stand out, all else becomes the field; unless it becomes a part of something found. Those events are what is dominant within the Shibui’s foundation.

The Shibui foundations are highly functioning because of what we do with them. As we work with them they become organizational systems that become what they will through the process of design. It did not take me long to realize I was designing my Shibui. This is why they reminded me of Japanese prints or Alphonse Mucha’s art deco works. Two things that I am very familiar with and at one point did not realize their influences.

When it comes to working a foundation there is also an order of importance which is quickly established and built upon by what I dub the rules of Shibui. Sort of a pecking order happens. These rules suggest what we should do with our foundations intuitively once we pick our mediums.

Phil Paratore’s book Art and Design gives us the insights that help us to talk about what happens with Shibui Found Image Art using the field-event theory. If you can find and purchase this book it helps. If enough people seek out this book it may encourage reprinting. Understanding the field-event theory/art and design will help you to understand your foundations in ways that will help you to have an insightful dialog about them with other Shibuiest, art therapists, those you court, and your students. You will need to explain Shibui at different times. It will help you to develop your own theories and develop your own brand of Shibui.

The use of how animal social structures work will make help to make sense as you compare them to Shibui and how its foundations work. With Shibui, what starts out as action art, and then turns into found image art begins out of random chaos and the chance of what happens; after all action art is just that! Action art! Once it establishes itself on its ground (the paper’s surface) it is a new matter to consider. A foundation can only happen once!

The raccoon is less of an event than the bear is in the meadow, but it has commonality, relationships form within this field. The raccoon is a smaller event, the mouse smaller than the raccoon, and last of all the ant which is barely noticeable. However, all are supportive of life in the meadow, they are part of the possible cycle of life in the meadow. How does this example apply to Shibui Found Image Art?

How does this example apply to Shibui Found Image Art? First, we need to create a foundation. Once the action art part is done we have a ground with the field and events on it. We essentially have a meadow with a bear or two, a raccoon or two, a few mice, and a bunch of ants! All of these components have things have that I call commonality and connectivity. Our minds have only to solve the puzzle of what these components become and how they relate to one another as a whole illusion.

What begins as random chaos and chance becomes a different matter when the end results of action art comes into its own as a Shibui foundation where it becomes an established ground on the paper’s surface. At this point, you have a working field-event theory which will then become the puzzle of found image art, which in turn becomes the illusion-making process of an ultimate Shibui story. The stories found within a Shibui’s foundation are always unique to their creator’s imagination.

I offer the insight give in the following website. I like what is said. <https://vanseodesign.com/web-design/dominance/&gt;

And I liked what was said shown here. <http://principles-of-design.weebly.com/index.html&gt;

Please I would like to know how well this is understood. Let me know what you think.
