The Early Firings Contained Many Stones.

Fire Is The Origin Of Stone.by Working The Stone With Heat, I Am Returning It To Its Source.

I'm An Artist Living In A Small, Scottish Village. So One Would Expect To Be Treated With Some Sort Of Caution. And The Village And The Farmers Have Shown Enormous Tolerance Of Me And Interest In What I Do. I Mean, They Don't Necessarily Understand What I'm Doing All The Time. But They, You Know, I Think They Respect What I Do And That There Is A Connection Between What They Do With The Land And What I Do, You Know, That We're Both Dependent On Weather And Respond To That.

It's Frightening And Unnerving To Watch A Stone Melt.

Nature, For Me Is Raw And Dangerous And Difficult And Beautiful And Unnerving.

I'm Not A Performer, In That I Don't Like The Public, But I Work In That Respect.
