Artist Comments

This painting embodies the Japanese ceramic practice of “kintsugi”, where broken pottery pieces are mended with precious metals. Scars, therefore, become emphasized and enrich the piece, rather than detract from it. Scars make the pottery more beautiful (and stronger) than before.
This painting was recently selected by the United Kingdom's NIHR “think tank”, Cochrane, for their health newsletter.
