I had the opportunity to install a polyptych of minimalist metallurgy, by Miya Ando..
I think she describes her work better than I could.
here is her artist statement and website. http://www.miyaando.com/
In my work, I create quiet, abstract, meditative environments with metal. Ultimately I am interested in the study of subtraction to the point of purity, simplicity and refinement.
I am Japanese and Russian, a descendant of Bizen swordmaker Ando Yoshiro Masakatsu and was raised among sword smiths-turned Buddhist priests in a Buddhist temple in Okayama, Japan. My spiritual, familial, and academic experiences deeply inform every aspect of my work.
