I've always been drawn to the art of Kintsugi, and all it represents, and ever since I first heard Peter Mayer's Japanese Bowl, I've wanted to paint it.

It's taken months of experimenting, and trial and error, but I think I've finally found a way to represent the idea on canvas.

”So now every old scar shows

from every time I broke

And anyone’s eyes can see

I’m not what I used to be

But in a collector’s mind

All of these jagged lines

Make me more beautiful

And worth a much higher price”
