Sasaki, Jon
The Romantic Journey Was Usually a Solitary One
2014
The second seat of a two-rider tandem bicycle has been cut out and discarded, with the remaining components brazed back together, reconfigured as serviceable transportation for one. The piece reflects a significant thread in Sasaki's work that was also represented in his piece Right-sized Limo.
