Naotsugi

Oil paintings and prints on canvas

Second Life

Embrace the broken

Naotsugi, a painting technique Inspired by the Japanese artform of kintsugi - that of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and powdered gold. The artform celebrates the imperfections and treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise

I have taken that philosophy an applied it making new works of art from the old.
