You write a lot here just to deny the artist the freedom to iterate on and perfect an idea. Just the fact that it's difficult to make a realistic pillow out of stone seems to me to be an interesting premise. Let them be. It clearly interests them, and me too. I'd love to see a gallery full of those pillows.
