Kintsugi

I am fascinated by the uplifting Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi at present. Literally meaning to join with gold. It is a reminder to remain optimistic when things break, be it something physical like a pot or something non-physical like a relationship. It is about the acceptance of imperfections and flaws and the beauty to be found in simplicity. Missteps in life can create resilience and a mended pot can be even more beautiful than the original.

I will be exhibiting in the Surrey Hills Artists exhibition which starts at Denbies Vineyard Gallery on Monday 8th May 23 until Sunday 21st 2023.
