Conceptオヒサマがポカポカテルホドニ、どうなるというのだろうか。地中からせり上がってきた鉄板の上に、富士川で見つけたという巨大な原石が危うくのっかっている。だが、石が平べったい形をしているばかりに、石の重みで重力が地中へベクトルを向けているというより、むしろ、オヒサマがテルホドニ、陽光へ向けてせり上がるように見えるから不思議だ。鉄と石の素材感、あるいは形態感の危ういバランスがなせる妙技である。近年、作者は鉄板の部分を赤く塗り、駅前の繁華街に設置したため石はますます上昇していくかに錯覚してみえる。

What happens if the sun shines more? A giant rough stone said to have been found by the sculptor in Fuji River is precariously placed on top of an iron plate erected from the ground. The flat shape of the rock creates a mysterious illusion that the rock is inching up towards the sun as “the sun shines more”, rather than being gravitated towards the ground due to its weight. The visual wonder is made possible by the textures of iron and rock, combined with the sense of precariousness their shapes create. Recently, the sculptor painted the iron plate in red and had it installed in the downtown area near the train station. The change has intensified its illusional gravitation towards the sun.
