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
