Stones in 140 bags, 400 trees of the acorn

I thought the creation of this sculpture should mainly consist of digging stones out of the fields. I made my relationship with that place one of finding my time and materials there, and then spending them there. Rather than using the stones and objects (a seedling from an acorn) I dug up as materials for a sculpture, I thought I could use their appearance itself, and the act of having dug them up, as the form. Apparently acorns grow by about this much a year.
