A blanket of fog concealed everything except the 20 yards in front of the car, which glowed eerily in the headlights. The bridge would be coming up soon...always a slippery mess on nights like this. I rounded the last turn, then slammed on the brakes, skidding sideways off the slick road onto the gravel shoulder. There is was...floating over the middle of the bridge...a pulsating, bright, white light trying desparately to break its constraining shell. I had been looking for it for years, and now...it had found me! The Coherence Tranceiver...
[Direct render out of Studio using a variant of @Unpixelled's kintsugi material with my volumetric material. Is this even LEGO anymore?]
In this work Lenora has really took my advice to heart creating a great statement. Using part of a broken container which was to be mended by Kintsugi method, but I think this is far more exciting. Stuck to the backing at an angle while the Eucalyptus branch reaches well beyond the side of the canvas. A Clivia seed head is added, though in Relief work fresh material is not added but the Clivia part will dry over time because there is no water supply.
Kintsugi ( or Kintsukuroi)) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. As a philosophy it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
The purpose of these photos was is to personify Kintsugi very literally. To show that people are broken and damaged but can be repaired and that makes them that much more beautiful.
To get this photo, the model was covered in gold-dusted makeup primer and gold-leaf was glued to her face and body. I then glued gold-leaf to the tree as well to create unity.
I composed this photo the way i did because it shows great rule of thirds and the tree closest to the camera (with gold on it) adds great depth.
I consulted quite a few other jewellers and metalsmiths about how to go about this job, and got excellent advice, my questions about methods and materials were discussed. I was encouraged to think of the repair as a type of kintsugi. Thanks to all at www.facebook.com/groups/metalsmithsunite/.

The work showcases Rawlinson's integration of advanced digital photography with artificial intelligence techniques, resulting in a captivating image that delves into the unraveling of structured form. It juxtaposes the precision inherent in technology with the fluidity of transformation, providing a glimpse into the dynamic potential that emerges from fusing distinct artistic methodologies.
Platform21 = Repairing. Platform21 favors repair over throw-away. Their house will feature four different repair stations in four rooms, and the public will be invited to creatively repair each room, with the guidance of four different designers. Repairing this house does not mean bringing it to its original state, but rather, giving it new value.
Kintsugi (in spirit) attempt at fork repair, goal is save the original chrome. Silver brazing a bit of metal in that I will need to eventually file, as this dropout was butchered in the past by someone, with Bag-1. Not sure this will work.
Embrace the silly moments.
