Mineko Grimmer (美音子グリマー, born 1949) is a Los Angeles–based installation sound artist.[1] Her work is influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures. She is inspired by the chance elements of John Cage as well as notions of time in Shinto shrines and Zen Gardens. Sound and silence are key elements in her work. The sculptures are finely crafted out of materials like bamboo, redwood, stone and water.[2]
