This piece of work is called the Amiyose V, it was made in 1968, by Kay Sekimachi out of woven, nylon monofilament and plastic tubing. Sekimachi transforms our expectations of weaving using the loom to construct structural pieces woven separately on 8 harvests looms in a tubular structure with an inner core. The work appears as a form within a form. This piece has no purpose to it. This work influences language because it shows how it is one of the pieces that is Made in America, but you wouldn't see anything like this in any of the Modern art exhibits. I chose this piece because I didn't know what it was because it has no figural shape to it it's just a piece of woven, nylon monofilament and plastic tubing. But this is why I liked this piece, it had no meaning to it.
