"IB - love the stone circle. Did you take any pictures?"

I enjoyed the idea behind the piece too. But can't imagine that working somehow, at least for me. Wouldn't it rather undermine the err conceptual integrity of the piece, by breaking it down into three separate stones? Not trying to be argumentative here, merely interested. My own feeling would be that captured images could *potentially* reduce such a piece to a commodity. Which is I think one of the most unfortunate pitfalls that has plagued so much 'Brit-Art'.
Having said that, if artists like Andy Goldsworthy never photographed their pieces then there would be precious little evidence of land art available to be discussed! So I'm quite content to be corrected....
