« I will make three cairns, one for each of the valley that the Réserve Géologique has responsibility for. Each cairn will be made of the same stone and the same size, yet I know that each will be so different. People think it's a form that I can reproduce easily. This is not the case. Uncertainty of outcome is one of the reasons why this form reoccurs so often in my work. All parts of the cairn are critical. It should feel rounded at the base. The middle will determine whether the cairn will stand tall or squat, full or empty. Then comes the all-critical line to draw the form from its belly to its head. The top draws the energy of the stone to a peak. » [Andy Goldsworthy]
