“Complimentary Skills” Concept and Title by Karen Earle Lile Art by Seiko Tachibana “Complimentary Skills” is evocative of the interconnectivity of the skills of artisans, artists and musicians. It inspires inclusivity of all who create, preserve, add to and restore works of the hands that last through generations. It recognizes how each skill compliments the other. It captures the essence of the moments in time, during which the skills of many people create living art and music, bringing joy to those who listen, look, participate and experience a piece of music, a work of art or a building or a combination of all three at the same time. ~ Concept and title by Karen Earle Lile
