Miyamoto's String Constructions emerged from the 1970s onward as an independent contribution to New York Minimal Art. The artist conceived of these expansive installations, constructed from taut threads, as a kind of refuge and sanctuary for her own body, thus combining the formal rigor of Minimalism with a decidedly personal, female perspective.
