<p>This work in the courtyard of the biology/physics building created by Jun Kaneko. Born in Nagoya, Japan in 1942, Kaneko moved to the United States to study ceramics. Not able to speak the language, he was forced to focus purely on the visual. The artist’s rhythmic designs are analogous with the Japanese Shinto concept of the “Ma”, which loosely translates into “attachment through space”. Widely honored for his work, he holds an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art in London. Photo by FJ Gaylor</p>
