“Icons of a Kintsugi Faith” is a set of five icon-like pieces in polymer clay that illustrate five different Christian beliefs. Each has each been broken and repaired in a kintsugi-like manner to mimic the way that life experience breaks open our belief systems and to express the faith that our re-assembling of our beliefs in fresh new ways after these breaks adds to their depth and beauty.

As I put the pieces of my faith back together, I am finding that it no longer looks the same. My “bowl” of faith no longer holds certainties; it is filled with mysteries and a growing ability to rest in the unknown.
