Chiaki KATOH
	1955〜 Tokyo ■The use of sand-blasting technique on the reflective character of glass is my main pre-occupation in order to express a sense of coexistence with nature. The viewer perceives the background through the work itself and the shifts of light unite all elements, thus completing the work.
