How to mend a broken Heart

Tiffany Hogan has created a sculpture of a heart made out of broken porcelain. The gold seams bind the broken porcelain fragments together, sitting on a brass holder. Hogan used a special technique called Kintsugi which is about embracing imperfections, celebrating hardships and exposing vulnerability, honouring our flaws. The blue porcelain flower blossoms while the gold cracks glow, highlighting the Oriental patterns. Once you look at her sculpture, your eyes are guided by the gold seams, entering a story of Hogan’s preserved emotions. It delves into Hogan’s emotional journey of challenging fragility where deconstruction and reconstruction occurred through her mental landscape to mend her broken heart. Hogan took her time fitting pieces of broken porcelain together, finding which one fits. She felt it was like a jigsaw puzzle. To get the perfect piece, Hogan had to use glass pliers as a method of deconstruction. She used a pointed brush to gently press the Kintsugi on the crack and held it together against another piece, waiting for it to stick and dry, testing Hogan’s patience. Hogan’s inspiration had come from an unexpected place which is the gym. It had flourished her artistic exploration by deconstructing muscle fibres, releasing hidden feelings and exploring what is beyond her emotional containment. Hogan’s heart ignited while enduring the extreme challenges of pushing her body past the limit.
