STUDIO BUILDING<br />

STUDIO INTERIOR<br />
In my work, I create quiet, abstract,<br />
meditative environments with metal.<br />
Ultimately I am interested in the study of<br />
subtraction to the point of purity,<br />
simplicity and refinement.<br />
I am Japanese and Russian, a descendant<br />
of Bizen swordmaker <strong>Ando</strong> Yoshiro<br />
Masakatsu and was raised among sword<br />
smiths-turned Buddhist priests in a<br />
Buddhist temple in Okayama, Japan. My<br />
spiritual, familial, and academic<br />
experiences deeply inform every aspect of<br />
my work.<br />
