Sculpture 43: "Kintsugi" by Teal Freenote, a photo by Teal Freenote on Flickr.

"Kintsugi" (Japanese for golden joinery) is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with a lacquer resin sprinkled with powdered gold.

"When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history, it becomes more beautiful."
~Barbara Bloom

New Location for Gallery Freenote in SL

Gallery Freenote has a new location! I have moved to the Magna Carta sim, a lovely commercial/residential area, next door to Avalon Town, home of many other art galleries. The Gallery is still in process, but it is now open again. Come over for a visit and see the new location, as well as the art in the surrounding area.
