Miya Ando Stanoff's minimalist paintings on steel panels are on display at Zinc Details' San Francisco location from January 3 through February 28, 2005.

Miya seeks to draw out the natural beauty and elegance in metal through use of subtle shades of silver and greys in her two-dimensional panels. She uses traditional metal finishing methods such as grinding, sanding, patinas, and the application of heat. She also works with metal-based pigments, solvents, and acids to create the varied textures and surfaces on her pieces. In her work, she explores the themes of solitude, nothingness, ethereal tranquility, and the transitory nature of things.
