[ebooks] Staging China: New Theatres in the Twenty-First Century (Chinese Literature and Culture in the World) by From Palgrave Macmillan in Arts-Photography

Description

Perfect Imperfect takes as its founding principle the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi; advocating the beauty to be found in imperfection; impermanence and the authentic. Importantly; this is done without losing sight of the benefits of living in the 21st century; where designers are merging digital technology with the handmade to produce items that combine the best of both worlds.This inspirational book; with thought-provoking text by Karen McCartney and stunning visuals by Sharyn Cairns and Glen Proebstel; is a celebration of accident; curation; collection; hesitation; collaboration; reuse; reimagining and true originality.Perfect Imperfect explores an established aesthetic in a new way; as illustrated by the homes and studios of international and Australian creatives. It embraces current design objects alongside well-worn ones; and features interior settings that mix comfort; design and an offbeat beauty.
