Ascend
In 2005, Andrew Rogers created ‘Ascend’ a 6.5m high stepped stone structure in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka. The steps of Ascend are based on the Fibonnaci Sequence.
Ascend consists of a staircase with steps that increase in size exponentially according to the Fibonacci number series.
To create this work, workers formed a human chain, passing rocks along an extremely steep rock slope to reach the site.
It is made of granite and measures 6.5m long x 6.5m high.
