'This is a very physical piece. I had to move alot of stones in one day, between the tides. It wasn't even a full day. The line of stones physically effected the place and the people who walked along the beach. People had to step over it. A horseback rider jumped over it. I revisited it several times and saw it sink into the sand and disappear. I often think of it still being there, although I know it isn't intact.' [AG, Penpont, 11/11/2003]
