In the Form and Formless series the positive and negative space has equal importance. The absence of material represents the unmanifest energies and the material represents matter or substance. The intrinsic interdependent existence of both of these phenomena in sculptural objects as well as the more complex involvement of the two concepts in nature acts as the subject of this piece. As a visual metaphor for life, the piece contains natural, flowing movement and the above mentioned explicit use of negative space which gives form to the invisible.

Mike Sasaki was born in Toronto, Canada. He graduated from the Bachelor of Design Honours program at York University / Sheridan College in 2005. He lived in Tokyo, Japan for 5 years where he was immersed in traditional and modern Japanese culture. The martial arts philosophies have played an important role in his artistic development.
