About This Work

Kintsugi (“golden joinery”), also known as Kintsukuroi, “golden repair”) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

About Melanie Sherman

"My work references porcelain wares from 18th-century Europe. I am attracted to the enameled and lustered surfaces of the Baroque, Renaissance and Rococo porcelain designs. I have been captivated by the relationship between East and West, and how they continue to influence each other. "
