KINTSUGI - GRAPHITE
A FASCINATION WITH ITEMS BEING MORE BEAUTIFUL AFTER THEY ARE BROKEN, LED ME TO THE ANCIENT KINTSUGI WORK OF EARLY JAPAN. THE ARTWORK YOU SEE HAD BEEN COMPLETED IN WHOLE, THEN MEDITATIVELY DROPPED TO BREAK THE SUBSTRATE. THE WORK IS REASSEMBLED AND ADHERED TO PANEL, FILLING THE CRACKS WITH GOLD LACQUER.
