Long Description:


"Three granite cores with carved and polished cavities that are formed to fit the human body. The three cores are intended to be arranged in a cloverleaf form, and set directly on the ground for use by visitors. The work was carved from giant core sections that the artist found in the quarry he has been using for 15 years. The core represents the solid presence of what became a hole." ~ plaque describing sculpture

Each of the granite cores measure 66 inches in diameter.
