I found Akiko Taniguchi on the internet. Her images touch my love of the natural world, and the beauty that surrounds us every day. Akiko Taniguchi’s abstract visual language is based on her continuous research into forms found in the natural world. She looks at connections and forces of regeneration that exist in different environments. Taniguchi starts off with photographs of natural phenomena such as cloud formations, ice crystals, or cracks found in earth that have been parched by drought. Her hand-generated responses to these photographs heighten the rhythms, patterns and structures occurring in nature.

Nels, I am also a big fan of Taniguchi's. She exhibits her work at Davidson Gallery in Seattle. I saw an exhibit at Davidson which featured her work and the work of her husband Sean Caulfield, who is a painter and printmaker also working with intaglio printmaking. If you haven't seen his work yet, I would highly recommend it.
