The starting point for each of these works was the drilling of holes into the boulder. This drilling is very precise and carefully calculated in order that each of the separate drill holes meet in the centre of the stone. The carving then continues around selected holes, producing pipe-like shapes. These can be quite organic, as in this work, or more geometric as in the case of 'Forest 2011–2 Planet'. Sound is often an integral part of the artist's work as demonstrated in two of the three pieces. Atsuo believes that stones hold memories and the sound played within the stone (produced and recorded by the artist) is an attempt to give voice to these memories.
