This painting by Miya Ando belongs to a series of Night Cloud tondos Ando created for her exhibition Kumoji (Cloud Path / A Road Traversed By Birds And The Moon). The exhibition featured works that express the transitory essence of nature. This painting depicts actual night clouds that Ando witnessed at the time and place noted in the painting’s title. Painted with ink on metal, the image is ethereal as it changes as the available light changes, and as a viewer walks around it. In addition to her interest in the ephemeral aspects of nature and art, Ando is also fascinated with the transitory and ever changing character of language. A dual Japanese American citizen, she seeks out words that exist in Japanese that have no simple English equivalent. Often these are archaic words that have even fallen out of fashion in Japan, but which, she says, “express a philosophy of existence and a relationship to nature.” The title of this word is an example of one such word, which Ando has done her best to translate into English, and into physical form through the work.
