During a residency at Cambridge University, Claude Heath worked with astronomy and aerial photography staff to produce images derived from stereoscopic photographs of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain. This work is based on photographs he sketched while continuously looking through a stereoscope. Some individual marks that represented natural features in the original drawings, were replaced with an abstract system of dots and dashes.
