The artist used his skills gained from working on or around farms as a dry-stone dyker to create this roadside sculpture, which reflects the surrounding Eildon Hills and the shape of the River Jed. It is said to represent James Hutton's realisation that rock formations must take hundreds of thousands, or millions, of years to develop (Hutton's 'Theory of the Earth' 1795).
