BEAUTY: Mixed Media--Tatiane Freitas

Brazilian visual artist Tatiane Freitas brings new life to broken furniture in her My New Old series, by replacing missing pieces with simple shapes in acrylic. Her pieces recall the idea of Japanese kintsugi, the art of repairing broken ceramics with gold. They also make me think of Phillipe Starck's famous Louis Ghost Chair. And finally, I flash on the idea of Phantom Limb Syndrome, imbuing these revived pieces with a sense of sentience. The series is fun and thoughtful.
