If I Had To Describe My Work

I Can't Edit The Materials I Work With. My Remit Is To Work With Nature As A Whole. I Find Nature As A Whole Disturbing. Nature Can Be Harsh – Difficult And Brutal, As Well As Beautiful. You Couldn't Walk Five Minutes From Here Without Coming Across Something That Is Dead Or Decaying.

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.

I Think That I'm Always Trying To Get Beyond The Surface Appearance Of Things, To Go Beyond What I Can Just See.

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.

The Early Firings Contained Many Stones.
