The Making Process Installation
After a circle design was approved, documented and titled, the stones were packed in bags and stowed away in a bucket, marked with the title of the circle. The bucket was taken to the amphitheatre site where the circle was recreated, using the photo documentation as reference.
This practice of using only the stones that were really needed, was an attempt to curb wastage, in this way honoring the decision to respect the natural environment where the stones were sourced from.
