Miya Ando: Rain Drawings

Miya Ando transforms the intangible into tangible matter. Descended from a lineage of Japanese sword-smiths, the artist manipulates metal and paper to capture the very essence of falling water. Using indigo and micronized silver, she manages to freeze the fleeting movement of a ripple and the subtle variations of light. These abstract compositions not only represent a meteorological phenomenon; they vibrate and change appearance depending on the angle of view, offering a silent meditation on the passage of time. The Sundaram Tagore Gallery presents this work of rare finesse, where the rigidity of the supports yields to the delicacy of natural elements. It is a privileged opportunity to observe how industrial materials are able to translate the ephemeral poetry of living things.
