In 1987 three gold armrings were discovered near Rosemorran. A collaborative potential in the establishment and continuing relevance of cairns or carns (in Cornish) as monuments to social activity or as responses to the landscape remains enigmatic, in defiance of bureaucracy, each stone represents an essential element about the society, the individual and the landscape in which it exists. The work is rendered in stitched woolen yarn emphasizing a cultural reference with that which is found beyond the perfection seeking image cultivar of the painted ideal.
