"Rejuvenation
Broken vessel or human scar: a beautiful new beginning.
Whilst researching Chinoiserie, the artist was drawn to crudely repaired vessels from previous centuries.
The Japanese art of Kintsugi is skillful repair of broken vessels, including gold, resulting in a more beautiful, more valuable, renewed life for that vessel".
Vessels were slip cast from porcelain, then either:
high bisque fired with silver wire added
high bisque fired with glass added
high fired with glaze and re-fired with platinum lustre.
