These Are Made of Stone, Right? Surreal Stone Sculptures Challenge Perceptions.

Stone seems like a pretty unforgiving and rigid material to work with. That is, unless you’re Hirotoshi Itoh, otherwise known as Jiyuseki. The Japanese artist purposefully works with natural stones to create sculptures that are equal parts charming and challenging. He uses these materials to make viewers question the conventional ideas of what materials (in this case stone) are used for.
