Broken Beauty

Broken Beauty was a specially commissioned artist residency in Southwark Cathedral, London to mark the first anniversary of the London Bridge attack. This included a new site specific print installation composed of monoprints taken from the Sacristy door damaged in the attack together with prints from other parts of the cathedral damaged and worn over the centuries. Prints were gilded as an echo of the Japanese craft of Kintsugi where broken ceramics are ‘mended’ with gold, thus acknowledging rather than hiding from the past.
