Writing about “as-is messed up walls and floors” made us remember a quote from our friend Maria Robledo, whose work invariably captures the wondrous imperfections in the daily world that make them so completely perfect. (It echoes the principle of wabi sabi we love so much.) Eagle-eyed Susan Dworski stumbled on the quote in Naked: Flowers Exposed, accompanying Maria’s photo of a white calla lily.
As soon as you try to
Imagine improvement you collapse in recognition that
even slight imperfections
belong so completely that to question them becomes well
beyond one’s length.
– Maria Robledo
