From Lena:
"Painting on denim is like the Japanese art of Kintsukuroi.
There's this pair of jeans I've been working on for YEARS and they have become a living work of art. When they rip, I sew on a decorative patch. When they stain, I paint over it! It's so easy to "fix" clothes with art, and they turn out more beautiful than ever before!
Like the traditional art of repairing broken pottery with gold, (Kintsukuroi) our pieces become more precious when they have been destroyed and brought back to life with art. Learning to renovate our clothes also has a huge positive impact on the environment. Rather than throw out a whole denim jacket, add a little color and turn it into a masterpiece!
When I paint or stitch on my clothes a little bit at a time, over a long period of time, I feel more connected to my clothing and that garment becomes infused with stories and character, making it totally priceless."
