A cairn is a monument made of stacked rocks. In modern times, often used for wayfinding in remote areas, as in mountaineering, or to indicate an area of significance.

In this sketch I imagine these monuments -- through the looking glass. Paying mind to the simplicity of their construction, as well as the mysticism of what each might represent.

Sketch is a series meant to celebrate learning and experimentation.

In this sketch I experiment with subdivision, smoothing, textures, multiple levels of domain warping, and illustration techniques.
