The Sculpture 

The Sculpture in fog 2017
Quartz pebbles. Variable dimensions (~15 x 10m)

The original impulse of this piece was amelioration of erosion in an area of exposed ground. Rules exist for its construction. The piece is dynamic, and has gradually changed in many ways since it was begun.

Solstice Project

Summer solstice
Sunrise view 2020

This project consisted of observing the sunrise and sunset on the four corners of a year: summer and winter solstices and autumnal and vernal equinoxes, from points in my territory. Over a period after each event I then walked to the place where the sun appeared or disappeared, navigating by simple eyeline and guesswork methods - distances from 500 metres to 5 kilometres from the starting points near my home. The photos of sunrises and sunsets and final appearance or disappearance locations, and my memory of this, are virtually all that remain on the ground. The etching below is a later depiction of the project.
