Moon Ensō (Engessō 円月相)
2024
29 printed silk chiffon panels
This installation consists of 29 panels of printed silk chiffon, representing a complete lunar cycle of 29 days, and depicts all phases of the moon beginning and ending with the new moon. The imagery is derived from Ando's Moon Almanac, a series of 1345 small, natural indigo dye on washi paper drawings of the moon, created daily over 2.5 years of the Covid pandemic in New York City.
Ensō (円相), meaning “circular form" in Japanese, is traditionally rendered in one calligraphic brush stroke and represents the universe, elegance, strength and the Zen principle of no-mind. Ensō is also a symbol of the concepts of absolute enlightenment, the void, liberation and emptiness (Mu) expressed as the moon. The Japanese word Engesso means ‘moon circle’. @art.sg @ubsglobalart @sundaramtagore #miyaando
Rest in peace to the beautiful and inimitable David Lynch🙏. I had the distinct privilege of working with the David Lynch Foundation years ago, he said he "likes fire and meditation" and asked me to speak about my work❤️
