His work has been acquired by the Tokyo National Museum and Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs.)
Sculptural piece in nickel silver and bronze set via five pins into a rectangular base of clear acrylic, abstract in form and comprising three large interwoven sections and a fourth, central, smaller 'floating' section soldered into place; the object is formed of strips of nickel silver and bronze, woven together to create a chevron pattern resembling tapestry or basketry.
