"Mia Tarducci’s Smoke and Steam, a tall, chimney-shaped abstraction, springs from the calligraphic curling of millfire clouds and the splashing fronds of molten iron and molded steel plunged into cooling baths. The palette of the work, apart from rosettes of red and an area of pale yellow, is almost a color wheel opposite of the oranges and yellows we expect from the mills and furnaces. Vulcan has become Poseidon. The element of fire creates the element of water and the recipe is written in, well, smoke and steam."
