The Essence Of Drawing Is The Line

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.

Time Gives Growth, It Gives Continuity And It Gives Change. And In The Case Of Some Sculptures, Time Gives A Patina To Them.

Art Is Not A Career - It's A Life.

If I'm Going To Understand The Land, I Have To Understand The Wind, The Snow, The Rain, The Leaves, The Ice, And Changes In Temperature. It Just Reflects A Reality For Me.

I Did Tests On Small Stones Before Collecting And Committing Myself To The Larger Ones.
