I love the practice of kintsungi ! Thoughtful piece, Bryn 😊 and complex- we all have different relationships to our traumas and hardships. But we certainly shouldn’t feel like we should have to hide anything, as you eloquently wrote
SUCH a beautiful post, Bryn. And your artwork is glorious!
This has got me thinking about my own body, inside and out, and how its experiences of hurt, sickness and frustration might be represented in artistic form. 🤔 That'll be an interesting exercise - any darkness paired with joy, colour and as much gold paint (I can't stretch to the real stuff!) as I can squeeze out of the tube!

Excellent wording, as usual, Bryn. I'm reminded of a song that says "Tattoos and scars are different things."
Great piece! Now I need to find the time to do some art ...
I love thinking of scars and trauma as something that should be visible rather than hidden! That would do so much for our mental health!
