Susan Ziel is a self-taught artist who transforms textiles into liberated, technicolor commodities. Susan’s work was featured at the Indiana Design Center, and one of her purses — made from her husband’s retired ties — won a contest and was featured in Haute Handbags. Susan relishes the artistic inspiration of Wabi as she creates her ‘edgy’ purses, fabric bowls, wall hangings and other delightful fare. Susan first encountered “Wabi” as an aesthetic theme after dinner at a restaurant in New Orleans. The entire restaurant was themed in black and white, but the waiters wore hand-painted, colorful ties. The bussers wore black t-shirts with the word “WABI” in prominent white lettering down the front. Wabi is a component of the Japanese phrase “Wabi-sabi,” an idea that accepts impermanence. Wabi elevates asymmetry, irregularity, and simplicity, all positive features of Susan’s art.

New up lights in our kitchen create a lovely space. Thanks to the dimmer, I couldn’t resist trying the many options after dark - in my PJs, I must confess. 😎💕@susaneziel https://www.instagram.com/p/ChUriA3Oiin-ZOdr59ACttdOXiGeS258yf0eNI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
