93 x 75cm mixed media on Kraft paper with 24ct gold accents. Varnished.
This piece is modelled on Kintsugi, hence the bold white colour, which reminds me of the fragility of porcelain. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer to bring it back together and gold to make it shine, as the journey should be celebrated- and in this case the woman deserves to shine.
GOLDEN JOURNEY
She speaks to the woman who is learning to love herself again
The woman who has taken the journey
Walked through her shadow
Shattered into a thousand pieces
And rebuild herself piece by piece
And somewhere in the darkness the cracks turned to gold
And she became something more
She became embodied and saw a new beauty
One where she recognised the scars made her beautiful
And she chose to shine ✨
Heart & soul
