Gettin' Ready for the Next Fold Form Challenge

MARCH'S CHALLENGE IS: 
The opposite of the February challenge -- 
1. Something that has absolutely no function other than visual impact.
2. Have a significant fold form element

It is so freeing not to have to think about making it useful or salable. An opportunity to just be able to play and experiment; doesn't have to be pretty; doesn't have to be anything but what it is, just be present in the moment... oh oh... don't want to get too deep here...

Well, I went to the gym this morning, and I always take a book with me because those cardio things, like the stationary bike or elliptical are soooo boring. I don't have a book that I'm really into, so each time I go, I've been picking something different. The last one was 'Selling Sucks' which was pretty interesting, but I didn't want to really read anymore, so I grabbed an old one off of the shelf. It's called "Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets, & Philosophers" by Leonard Koren. I usually find books like this a little pretentious or not really very informative or interesting, but this was different. A couple of things it has going for it is that it's only 88 pages, has lots of pictures, and the text is pretty big! I read the whole thing during my elliptical workout and part of the bicycling.

So much of what was in that book resonated with me. Just a quick example, he lists and describes the material qualities of Wabi-Sabi which are:

1. "The suggestion of natural process
   
2. Irregular
3. Intimate
4. Unpretentious
5. Earthy
6. Murky
7. Simple"

Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets, & Philosophers" by Leonard Koren. pgs 62-72

Of course this is the very very short version, and I have just begun to dip in and explore all of this. It's a direction I have been partly headed in and would really like to pursue and think about.
Anyone out there have any thoughts on this?

Here are some links to some of the photos from the book:
