Posted @withregram • @speedball_calligraphy In Memoriam Sheila Waters (March 13, 1929 – March 18, 2022). Today we dedicate our post to the world-renowned calligraphic artist, author, and teacher, Sheila Waters, whose seventy-year career included world-class commissions for royalty, museums, libraries, corporations, maps for publishers, and collectors.
We at Speedball consider ourselves beyond fortunate to have had the chance to learn from Sheila in a myriad of ways, and are overwhelmingly grateful to her for her insight and support through the years, especially in her numerous contributions to several editions of The Speedball Textbook and the undeniable way she influenced and inspired this great calligraphic community in which we play a part. Let us remember her great work forever.

Yin is dark, cold, receptive, magnetic.
Yang is light, hot, giving, active.
Both are present in everything. Day is Yang, Night is Yin. But during a Yang day, one will have periods of Yin rest.
Yin-Yang is also an important concept in Japanese art. In the calligraphy above, outward brush-strokes are Yang and should be painted freely. Inward brush-strokes are Yin, and should be painted tightly.
Even in as mundane an activity as cooking, one finds Yin-Yang. In Japanese cooking, there are Yang knives which are used blade-outwards, and Yin knives which are used blade-inwards. Yin-Yang also applies to the ingredients. The leaves of a plant are Yin, but the roots of a plant are Yang. As with everything, a good balance is necessary.
In the image above I intended to make the “yang” round like the sun. It also resembles an “enso”, a hand-drawn circle which in Buddhism signifies the circle of life.
The first character 猪 means “wild boar”, so the image is of a wild boar stampeding, not stopping until it has reached its destination.
My Japanese teacher taught me this “yo-ji-juku-go” (Japanese 4-character idiom) because both me and her were born in the year of the wild boar.
Being confused ain’t necessarily so bad :)
