Representing the artist, Andrew Rogers, Copper Mountain College professor Spellman Downer explained to the Council:
...the installation, though long, would probably not exceed three feet in height. The light-colored, contrasting stones would be purchased locally, probably from Whitewater Rock and Supply. No cement would be used, nor would the flat stones be dug into the ground. “We’re only asking to lay the stones on the ground and stack them,” Downer assured the Town. “We won’t disturb the onsite rocks.” Local labor would be paid “market rates” to help the artist get the installation up in about a week’s time, he said.
