Today it’s coming back to writing the manual. I began this process yesterday after signing into Grammarly. I like the way the program is simple and catches things for me. I do not rely on it to convey all things however. It tends to surprise me whenever I begin writing the instruction manual for Shibui Found Image Art, it becomes improved. It has helped improve my thoughts about writing about Shibui to read about and to creating traditional art again. The result is that I can compare the two processes better.

I began Shibui in 2011, and it took me about five years to have consistent verbiage with which to explain Shibui’s techniques. The first realization after the five years was that I was using the field event theory taught by one of my professors Philip Carlos Paratore in his art theory class. The theory had been eternalized. Realizing this was how to explain what is seen was the first step to writing better about Shibui. The next realization was that Shibui is Pareidolia. Artist have used Pareidolia before, it has an old history of use. For me it was how I saw the world around me as a child, an easy leap into that kind of creativeness. It’s been a challenge to figure out how to explain it so others can understand it. But I have. The next step is to publish it so others can use it.

Best wishes! Pejj
