Even In Winter An Isolated Patch Of

I Enjoy Working In A Quiet And Subversive Way.

I'm Dealing With The Most Important Things There Are: Life And Nature. If This Doesn't Work, If This Doesn't Sustain Me, I Can't Go Back To Nature. I'm Right There. There's Nowhere To Go, And That Frightens Me.

There Is Life In A Stone. Any Stone That Sits In A Field Or Lies On A Beach Takes On The Memory Of That Place. You Can Feel That Stones Have Witnessed So Many Things.

Movement, Change, Light, Growth And Decay Are The Lifeblood Of Nature, The Energies That I I Try To Tap Through My Work. I Need The Shock Of Touch, The Resistance Of Place, Materials And Weather, The Earth As My Source. Nature Is In A State Of Change And That Change Is The Key To Understanding. I Want My Art To Be Sensitive And Alert To Changes In Material, Season And Weather. Each Work Grows, Stays, Decays. Process And Decay Are Implicit. Transience In My Work Reflects What I Find In Nature.

My Sculpture Can Last For Days Or A Few Seconds - What Is Important To Me Is The Experience Of Making. I Leave All My Work Outside And Often Return To Watch It Decay.
