A homage to Andy Goldsworthy. I made this spiral by splitting slate pebbles (I bashed them with a rock) and laying them out on a slab on the shore of Loch Lomond in Scotland on the Easter weekend just gone. I returned the next day to see if it was still there and found it intact and just as I left it. However it was raining so I removed the pebbles to see the dry patches left underneath.

I thoroughly recommend any of his books for anyone remotely interested in land art - his talent and skill is a great inspiration to me and has driven me to try to reproduce some of his designs to try and understand the physical process he went through in producing the original. My versions are nothing but humble tributes to his vision.
