Beauty of Mending: Kintsugi and Beyond
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Beauty of Mending features kintsugi, a traditional craft of repairing shattered ceramics with lacquer and gold. Showcasing intricately restored pieces by Kintsugi artist Naoko Fukumaru, you are invited to witness the transformation of cracked or flawed items into exquisite works of art. The artistry of mending not only highlights the beauty of imperfection but also encourages reflection on resilience and acceptance. Complimenting these works will be selected pieces from the AGGV Collection, such as ice-crackle patterned porcelains, and paintings with “accidental” strokes that celebrate this philosophy. Join us in exploring how imperfection can reveal unexpected beauty and profound meaning. ---
