I Am Not A Performer But Occasionally

A Snowball Is Simple, Direct And Familiar To Most Of Us. I Use This Simplicity As A Container For Feelings And Ideas That Function On Many Levels.

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.

I Have Six Acres In Front Of My Own House, Which I Very Rarely Work On. Most Of The Work Occurs On Farmers' Fields Around Me. And I Like The Discipline Of Working On Other People's Land.

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.

Occasionally I Have Come Across A Last Patch Of Snow On Top Of A Mountain In Late May Or June. There's Something Very Powerful About Finding Snow In Summer.
