Too bad I live so far away and remain a Covid hermit. I'm intrigued by her work, especially how, as you describe, she incorporates kintsugi to display wounds and weak spots as precious assets. You did a good job explaining how her works prove the point of her theme of strength despite (or because of) imperfections. I love her use of different woods: their colors, grains and pliability.
Thanks, Mim! Alison's work is thematically kin to kintsugi, but she doesn't use gold. For instance, in a wall piece titled "Scoliosis," she embroiders colored thread along a crooked seam in a walnut panel.

Yes, I saw that.
