Artwork for sound brief

The image i've been given is by artist Richard Long named (A Line in Japan 1979)

to make a sound for this image i needed to research what the image is about and why Richard long considered doing this piece. 
summary of sculpture - A Line in Japan documents a temporary sculptural work made by Long on top of Mount Fuji in Japan. The work involved placing small rocks from the surrounding area into a straight line of roughly uniform width that stretches for several metres in length. However Long has explained that he had originally intended to create a different work, indicating how working directly in a landscape can be affected by conditions that are out of the artists control. These sculptures are subjected to constantly change natural and human conditions.

Longs own words 
The sculpture A Line in Japan (1979) came about because my original idea had been to make a map work recording a circular walk around Mt Fuji, following the snow line. However, as there was no snow on the mountain at all when I arrived, I had to follow a different idea. 

Richards Long has made similar sculptures as you can see below, which taking into consideration has a similar meaning to that of a line in japan, and how all of Richard Long work have the same message depicted within his sculptures, with natural and human conditions being out of the artists control.
