In developing this body of work, local artist Kelly Kruse was inspired by the Japanese practice of Kintsugi and the philosophy of Wabi-sabi. Kintsugi is a practice whereby a broken piece of pottery is repaired using powdered precious metal and adhesive. The cracks in the piece remain visible in their newly gilded form. As a result of being broken and mended, the piece becomes more valuable and more beautiful. Similarly, Wabi-sabi is an aesthetic philosophy which values the natural, the temporal, and the ephemeral over the permanent and perfect.

She writes, “This project has helped me to begin to understand suffering as a process, and to see scarring as a mark of healing.” About the Artist Kelly Kruse uses her work to explore the painful, beautiful experience of human longing and suffering. She developed a visual devotional practice as a response to her battle with depression, through which she wrestles with beauty, longing, and God. Kruse describes her work as contemporary illumination. Like the medieval monks who perfected the art of illuminated manuscripts, she seeks to awake in the viewer a sense of spiritual contemplation.
