Though I usually produce large-scale installations and photographic works, this time I am exhibiting from a series of small-sized works entitled "Nesting-Tokyo #4". In the past I have altered bit by bit in various ways, "nesting" in place after place. These places include Tokyo, Kyoto, Taipei, Padova, Basel, Belbourne, N.Y. and so on. Tokyo will be the fourth work in this series. Though installed on the wall here, it can also be placed upon a pedestal.
