What's in a blog name?

Ars nexus rerum: art as the nexus of all things. 
The connection between artists, artwork and public arising by what we share, by what we have and by what we miss. By what we seek, by what we desire. By who we are and by our heritage, from the little things of everyday life to beliefs. A net of memories, words, objects we share, make, enjoy, eat...
Living involves us reaching out for the Other, delving inside ourselves. We wander, wonder, merge, clash, take, give in the process of our travels, meetings, partings. We're flowers searching for nourishment and light. Stars trailing brightly as we fall. Creatures of gravity seeking to soar. 
In our quest we get scars, patch our selves as we carry on. We bleed images and words and sounds.We're burning streams, glowing seams. Layers of reality shining through the cracks, flowing through the gaps. In other words, kintsugi.  In other words... suki.  Harmony. Or, to say it with good ol' Plato, the root of Love.
