Imperfection

Monday August 25, 2008

Congratulations

Thank you

The idea of imperfection is new to me.

I thought the idea of filling up a page was so that it would make full use of space; that you should cram as much as you can into that white paper to make a statement. I thought that was the way to go.

Up until now.

I can see almost everyone around me making things to look perfect, or to achieve flawlessness. I too, am guilty of that as I am also a little perfectionist at heart. But how do perfectionists learn to be imperfect? To revel in the beauty of impermanence and of the beauty in flaws?

Do you sabotage your perfect work in order to make it look imperfect? Rearrange ideals and notions to make it “wrong”?

So many things can be said without taking up an entire sheet, and I’m not sure if I know the right words.

I’m all about imperfections. When something looks too perfect, I have to ruffle it up a bit. I do this on purpose all the time. I even like to buy cheap markers and let them dry out a bit so that when I use them, the drawing is flawed and blotchy. That’s weird, isn’t it??
