'Evening Blue', 2015, pigment, urethane, and resin on aluminium, by Miya Ando (born 1978), an award-winning contemporary Post-minimalist American painter and sculptor of half-Japanese and half-Russian-American heritage working primarily with aluminium, glass and steel.

In keeping with her Buddhist beliefs, many of her pictures are intended as Zen koans - portraits of emptiness and a representation of the profound nature of the universe.

Advice from a Raindrop by Kim Stafford

You think you’re too small to make a difference? Tell me about it. You think you’re helpless, at the mercy of forces beyond your control? Been there. Think you’re doomed to disappear, just one small voice among millions? That’s no weakness, trust me. That’s your wild card, your trick, your implement. They won’t see you coming until you’re there, in their faces, shining, festive, expendable, eternal. Sure you’re small, just one small part of a storm that changes everything. That’s how you win, my friend, again and again and again.

[Thanks Joan Halifax]
