KINTSUGI
The Restorative Art of Naoko Fukumaru
Kintsugi, (pronounced keen-tsue-ghee), uses powderedgold over lacquer-repaired seams to magnify the beauty that emerges from breakage. This 500-year-old method ofmending damaged ceramics evocatively reminds us of theremarkable human capacity to overcome challenges and adversities. Artist and professional ceramics conservator, Naoko Fukumaru, combines state-of-the-art restoration techniques with traditional kintsugi repair methods to create work that highlights imperfections while exploring new possibilities for this noteworthy craft. Here in the Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery, our kintsugi exhibition features Fukumaru's experimental work, which courageously divergesfrom tradition to express the redemptive potential [really?] born from the act of sensitively reconstructing something that has shattered. For Fukumaru, practicing kintsugi is not merely about repairing damaged physical objects, but finding new nways to celebrate the history, artistry, and symbolism of each piece by choosing to cherish rather than trash what has been broken.
Fusing kintsugi-repaired vessels with unconventional materials like thread, textiles, and surprising plaster forms of mushrooms, succulents, crystals, and animals, Fukumaru conveys a journey from vulnerability to strength. Urushi lacquer is at the heart of much of Fukumaru's work. In addition to helping rejoin the broken fragments, urushi can be layered to develop texture and three-dimensional forms.
It can also be used as a paint, which draws from the maki-e lacquer decorating tradition, where surface designs are meticulously painted with urushi then sprinkled with powdered gold or other precious metals to accentuate the designs. However, instead of the typical maki-e motifs of plants and animals, Fukumaru's urushi decorations are reminiscent of neurons, sparking connections between disparate pieces that she has attentively attached to the restored vessels. Delving into what it means to be beautifully broken, Fukumaru expands the horizon of kintsugi as a powerful art form.
The exhibition continues in the Pavilion Gallery

This Yin Yang pair of OOAK art dolls is a concept me and my friend Naomi have been planning for years. They are inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, mending broken pottery with gold. The albino twin will be hers and I will get to keep the dark resin beauty to bind our friendship together forever.
This project has given me strength to get through this horrible year, so full of loss, fear and missed opportunities. Kintsugi reminds me that we are not broken. We can learn and grow from our negative experiences, and become better people for it.
Commissioned OOAK dolls. Not for sale. Both Inamorata 3.0 dolls share the Nsia head sculpt, one in Milk and the other in Coffee resin.

For a while I knew about the art of kintsugi. I looked for broken pottery to try to fix it, but to be in line with the philosophy of kintsugi I didn't wanted to provoke it. Some weeks ago, a dear friend broke this artisan cup, with traditional Hungarian motives painted on the glaze. She was upset and scared because her mother used to drink coffee from it, and basically she thought she'd lost the keepsake. We talked on the phone just right after the unfortunate action happened and she still had the broken pieces in the trash, wrapped with paper tissue.
This was the opportunity I was waiting for. It took me couple of weeks to get the courage, the glue, the silver, and to actually mend it. For the first try I'm quite happy with the outcome. It's not perfect . It's not ubiquitous. And it's not supposed to be. So it's just right.
And then right before I gave it back, I wanted to have a memory of it. I thought to take a photo of it. But it would not capture it properly. So I drew it. The repair which was in silver, it was drawn with tooth paste. It's quite tactile. Now it has layers of stories to tell.
