On this episode, I sat down with the incredible fine artist, Peter Cochrane. His incredible piece "Osiris", a series of life masks broken and repaired using kintsugi, was the inspiration for the title of this podcast. He takes us through his artwork as we discuss what it means to heal from difficult life events, the awe-inspiring impact of the natural world, and the beauty of broken things.
You can find the art discussed in this episode and more at Peter's website: https://www.petercochrane.xyz/
