Description
A pale, off-white sculptural form with an irregular, skeletal or bone-like structure, its surface pierced by numerous open cavities of varying size and traced with fine, web-like ridges along the edges. The object curves and tapers along its length, narrowing to a slender protrusion at one end, and is photographed against a plain black-to-gray gradient background with no other figures present. *Abaca*, made by Yuko Kimura in 2016 from abaca paper and wire.
