Concept二枚の座ぶとんが、かすかに重なっているだけだが、緑の芝生の上に設置して生かされると素材が石であることさえ忘れさせ、いったい誰がすわる座なのかと、想像力やインスピレーションをかき立てられる。主なき二人の座?とは。作者もいまや亡き人になってしまった。

The work consists of nothing more than slightly overlapping two cushions, but its lively presence on a green lawn makes you forget about its stony texture, as it tugs at your inspiration and imaginations as to who is supposed to sit on it. What does it mean, seats for the two without the seaters? Now the answer is forever lost along with the late sculptor.
