Miya Ando Stanoff

Miya Ando Stanoff made the rounds on the internet a few years ago (I was sure I first learned about her on CoolHunting, but I can't find it up there anymore). She works with flat cold steel that's treated with tempering heat (I think) and pigments. The result is a really cold effect that's very soothing to me. I had the privilege of seeing her work in person in San Jose a little over a year ago, and the effect really is quite stunning. Her site has a new movie on it that makes me all mellow.
