The Underlying Tension Of A Lot Of My Art Is To Try And Look Through The Surface Appearance Of Things. Inevitably, One Way Of Getting Beneath The Surface Is To Introduce A Hole, A Window Into What Lies Below.

The Stones Tear Like Flesh, Rather Than Breaking. Although What Happens Is Violent, It Is A Violence That Is In Stone. A Tear Is More Unnerving Than A Break.

My Art Is An Attempt To Reach Beyond The Surface Appearance. I Want To See Growth In Wood, Time In Stone, Nature In A City, And I Do Not Mean Its Parks But A Deeper Understanding That A City Is Nature Too-the Ground Upon Which It Is Built, The Stone With Which It Is Made.
