Moto Ohtake, local artist and Cabrillo College instructor, is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute. He will be displaying many new never before seen welded steel sculptures and collograph prints. Of particualr interest, is his welded steel sphere, which measures 7 feet in diameter. This piece embodies Ohtake's interset in geometric form and galactic bodies. Ohtake's sculpture is complimented by his prints -- monumental geometric images which appear to be floating in space.
