Kazutaka Uchida
The stirring contemporary stone sculpture of Kazutaka Uchida graces the Freed Gallery, inside and out. A professor of art in Tokyo and master artisian, also in the permanent collection at the University of Oregon. "Almost every one of my sculptures has roundness in it. Roundness is a basic form, and one of the most natural forms is a sphere. Although the Himalayan Range, when looked at from the Nepalese foothills, is a very steep mountain range, the basic ground still has roundness to it. The Himalayas stand as the spine of the great round earth." The series exhibited in Lincoln City is called "The Roundness of the Horizon."
