FRP（繊維強化プラスティック) 、ゴム、ステンレス、鉄など、現代の生活空間で身近な素材を使い、見たことのないもの、どこにもないものによる不思議でユーモラスな空間を作りだす。近年は身体に装着する彫刻やパフォーマンスを行うなど、新たな彫刻を模索し続けている。

Ito Makoto takes familiar materials of the kind found in modern living spaces, such as FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic), rubber, stainless steel, and iron, and uses these to craft strangely humorous spaces from things never before seen, or indeed, nowhere to be found. Recent years have seen him exploring a number of new avenues in sculpture, including wearable sculpture, and performance.
