1-3 Point of Resolution’ 2005 - The Southern Upland Way - (map Ref: NT 354 337).
A fixed viewing point was established (the point of resolution) and from there a series of what appear to be circles were cut in the heather. Once the viewer moves away from the resolution point it becomes apparent that what can be seen are not circles at all but huge irregular elongated ovals. Gradually the heather is growing back and the work will disappear.
