Cast Iron Ornament - Swallowtail

Nobuho Miya for Kamasada

• Introduction

  I am a Swallowtail Cast Iron Ornament. Gulp. Where’d my tail go?

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  This piece is intriguing because it’s in that gray zone between art and design. Many see that intersection between the two as different disciplines but when I look at Miya’s cast iron ornaments, I can’t help but think that they defy classic boundaries.
