Kintsugi Series

Kintsugi is the art of “golden repair.” In this artform, when a ceramic is broken, it is pieced back together using gold or other metallic bonding. The piece is sometimes thought of as being stronger and more beautiful after it has been broken and repaired than it was originally.

This series is a collection of human likenesses, which have been broken and repaired using digital kintsugi. The concept is related to Cistercian monk Thomas Keating’s understanding of “The Divine Therapy,” which emphasizes the possibility of psychological healing through meditative practice from a Christian perspective.

Polishing the Mirror

In the Sufi Tradition the soul is sometimes thought of as a mirror for God, but one which can only reflect the Divine accurately if it is polished. “Polishing the Mirror” or “Polishing Rust Off The Heart” remain common metaphors for moral and spiritual development within Sufism. This series contains two pieces: Polishing the Mirror, and Polished Mirror.
