will be carving a granite sculpture
outdoors at DePaul University during June 2012, and plans to finish the
sculpture during the conference. Keizo also carved a sculpture during
the first ISAMA conference held in June 1999 at the University of
the Basque Country in San Sebastian, Spain.

currently on view in Stockholm, Sweden, on the IIT campus.
