Hi everyone, am introducing Mr Wong a new artist created this abstract style art with concrete, aluminum wire stencil letters and acrylic paint. The story below describes his thoughts.
The Artist Kadir Attia speaks of two kinds of repair, one where the broken, as in a wound that is fixed, no longer visible is the scar, the other like ‘kinsugi’ with the crack line still visible, is filled in with gold.
Perhaps there is a third kind of repair as in ‘Sprouting Words To Repair’ where something happening can be construed as repairing but not apparent or that it’s beyond repair but still the feeling of repair persist.
One searches in the depths for words as if they could repair but there are none. All the words that came out are so common like grass that sprang from the ground and all that keeps growing. Could it be that they too sprout from the ground to repair the Earth.
Surely if the wound is really deep and bleeding endlessly, wouldn’t that be a sign that it is repairing itself. Aren’t the words you seek found in poems, songs or maybe sometimes when you say ‘Hello’.
Is it repairing?

Hi Wong
Welcome to the website of art in any form. I loved the way you created a life issue into an art form. I loved your title about the repair. Yes, many of us go through life with many challenges, and some get buried so deeply that they can’t be repaired. Your art, in a colourful way, denotes there is hope despite despair. As long as there are sprouts, they are repairable, meaning there is hope.
Well done, love to see more of your work on this website.
