Bags of gravel are transported and dumped in a public place to form a mound of rock. A wheelbarrow was brought so that the shovel could collect the gravel to move it to the next location. This operation is repetitive and without any other purpose other than to move a pile of rock. When the worker is exhausted, the gravel is left in place until the next shoveling session.

This operation is repetitive and has no purpose other than to move a pile of small rocks. When the shoveler is exhausted, the gravel is left in place until the next shoveling session. Once the gravel is fully shoveled into the wheelbarrow, the shoveler moves on to the next location. From October 21-29, 2014, this gravel pile will be moved.
