This was a show I curated for friend and talented calligrapher, Meredith McPherson at Floating Leaves Tea House in Seattle. Meredith had long studied with master calligraphers in China, and has since had numerous showings of her work in the U.S. I've done a few solo shows of her work, and have also included it in a number of group shows I've produced. See more of her work and read more about her at www.zeninkart.com. Floating Leaves has since moved to smaller digs without a gallery or cafe space where they can focus on their primary mission, purveying high quality Taiwanese Oolong tea. See www.floatingleaves.com for the best Taiwan Oolong around.
Our collection includes antique furniture (such as tansu,) antique through contemporary pottery from Japan, SE Asia, and America; folk textiles, woodblock prints, and other "komingu" (daily use items.) Contemporary pottery, prints, and other works are made by craftspeople inspired by Mingei, as well as wabi-sabi philosophy and aesthetics. We also retail a wide variety of Japanese tea and teawares, and promote tea education, through our Charaku Fine Japanese Tea website, www.charaku-tea.com.
