formerly a carpenter, glen taylor is a ceramic artist whose artworks incorporate destruction into the making process. based in ohio, glen uses the japanese artform of kintsugi to repair hand-made pottery and fine china which he himself breaks in catharsis. the classically beautiful gold, however, is exchanged for the abject - rusting metal, nails, scissors, barbed wire, or blackened soldering alloy. through the delicate art of repairing broken pieces to rediscover their wholeness, taylor bravely demonstrates how the intimate process of healing one’s trauma is seldom pretty.
