GOLDEN REPAIR | Envision Arts Gallery

Experience GOLDEN REPAIR at the Envision Arts Gallery featuring Ciara McCaughy, Laridda Murphy, and Brandon Murphy.

To honor Black History Month, this group of artists has taken the Japanese art of Kintsugi which is a technique known as, “golden repair” used in repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer as a philosophy to treat the breakage and expose its damage as opposed to disguising it to be something it is not. Metaphorically, this technique is a way for these artists who are Black and Disabled as a way for them to examine the many parts that make them who they are and to honor each part as not being “broken” by life’s experiences, trauma, and heartache, but pieced together by each account and desire that makes each life uniquely whole, worthy, deserving…beautiful.

Poems and written word statements accompany this body of ceramic artwork and examine the raw emotions of what it means to be Black and Disabled in today’s society.

On display in the Patricia A. Peer Window Gallery until March 31.
