Pride carried down to the valley bit by bit. The crest of a wave, in a wild sea, turned to stone. The horizon extended by a finger-width. In search of the ideal mountain. In essence Mount Fuji. Hokusai as a model. Spiritus Rector of my mountainworks. The process of erosion para-scientifically anticipated. 36 alpine summits ground to dust. Sieved onto the floor in small heaps. Trickled through the fingers. A sensual experience. A topographical recreation. Not gazing up to the mountain. Glancing downwards. The summit removed from its base. Robbed of its classical position. Duplicates and originals arranged in corresponding rows. The formal shape of the stone remains intact. Only the monochrome colour reveals the impetus of the imitation. The series exposes the uniformity. The trophy value is lost. The peak first taken from the mountain and then robbed of its form. Dismantling - a creative act.     Mt.
