Abstract sumi e painting, Zen style, print with ink wash and both wet and dry brushstroke work by Marilyn Wells “Sound of Breezes - or What Is Mind” was inspired by this writing from Ikkyū Sōjun …

What is Mind?
“And what is mind
And how is it recognized?
It is clearly drawn in sumi ink, the sound of
breezes drifting through pine.”
  -Ikkyū Sōjun 1875S

This one is a koan in that it makes you stop and feel your way through it. How can the poem be true? How can it be like that? You tell me.

This is a Limited Edition Fine Art Print, numbered and signed, made from archival, museum quality giclée ink on hot press, acid-free 100% cotton rag media with a fine-tooth surface. Each will have an additional 1/4” white border to accommodate most framing needs, or which you can cut off if you wish. It is packaged in a crystal clear envelope with a sturdy back board for shipping and framing protection.

Each print will be hand signed on the back by the artist along with a stamp of authentication.

For all prints, expect 10 business days working time, as each is hand printed just before shipping, although usually less time is needed. Contact me for any other questions.
