The Kintsugi Series is based on the Japanese Art of Kintsugi, using precious metals to repair broken items so that they are considered whole & useful again.  In our society we are considered "broken" if we are not able to conform to and cope with modern life.  These paintings were a response to the realisation that sometimes, others prefer to keep us broken as it suits their agenda, but it is possible to heal the original wounds that often began in childhood, and regain our personal power.
