Keizo USHIO,<br />
‘Dream lens for<br />
the future’<br />
2012<br />
granite<br />
Ushio’s signature style of sculpture is this form,<br />
a ring or loop, which is created by carving<br />
intertwining ribbons of stone and threedimensional<br />
circles, works of interlocking parts.<br />
The techniques employed are notoriously difficult<br />
with the material of granite, which has significant<br />
weight and density, yet the artist’s achievement is<br />
a work of elegance and lightness. Ushio employs<br />
mathematics in the engineering of his works,<br />
specifically the Moebius strip, which is a one-sided,<br />
one-edged surface. The placement of Dream lens<br />
is intended to frame <strong>City</strong> Hill and Parliament House<br />
beyond, a view visible only from the median strip.<br />
