LOST AND FOUND LA
November 2017
Installed two months after the La Tuna Canyon fire, this installation was inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and gold. In marking breakage with gold, kintsugi illuminates damage as a meaningful part of an object’s history. People shared notes of loss: “Write about a time when you experienced loss in L.A. Keys, a wallet, a relationship, a beloved canyon.”
