33 Davies Street welcomes Billie Bond and her spectacular work inspired by ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi, repairing broken ceramics with lacquer mixed with powdered bronze. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
‘My work is concerned with identity and a personal obsession of revealing the concealed, exposing the discarded and the overlooked, repairing the broken and exploring ideas of duality.
I try to translate an inner being through a disrupted surface, creating new and different visual conversations. Processes of destruction and repair investigate aspects of trauma and healing, rejuvenation and change. ‘
