There’s a matching bookmark, too!

She is new to me, I just read a bit about her and looked at her work. I love her message, her sculptures are beautiful and compelling, thank you for introducing me!

And thank you so much for the references, I needed some help there 😅😊

Yes! Like wabi-sabi, thank you!

I would repair them and call it a kintsugi-inspired series. Lean manufacturing is about efficiency. Art or craft has different values.

Wabi-sabi embraces impermanence and imperfection, and kintsugi highlights it by repairing cracks and chips in ceramic with gold seams.

Yes! This is why I asked! 😊 I have a “Failed Art” collection of items that are imperfect, but what is “perfect” anyways? Thank you!

Paper Moon, Jitterbug Perfume, the Master Handbook of Acoustics, any Far Side Gallery, the dictionary…

I make wooden / wood and resin bookmarks by hand if anyone needs one and wants to support a small artist 🤓📚

Failed Art Studios @failedartstudios.bsky.social · Aug 7

In lean manufacturing this would be called “muda”, aka waste. Wasted time and materials, uselessness, failure. It means I must question the process and materials…lmao

Should I try to fix the broken ones with colorful UV resin and see what happens? 🌈✨

Or should I just trash them? 🗑️
