The Essence Of Drawing Is The Line

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.

There Are Occasions When I Have Moved Boulders, But I'm Reluctant To, Especially Ones That Have Been Rooted In A Place For Many Years.

Movement, Change, Light, Growth And Decay Are The Lifeblood Of Nature, The Energies That I I Try To Tap Through My Work. I Need The Shock Of Touch, The Resistance Of Place, Materials And Weather, The Earth As My Source. Nature Is In A State Of Change And That Change Is The Key To Understanding. I Want My Art To Be Sensitive And Alert To Changes In Material, Season And Weather. Each Work Grows, Stays, Decays. Process And Decay Are Implicit. Transience In My Work Reflects What I Find In Nature.

Generally In New York, People Just Walk Over You With No Problem About That. Other Countries, People Want To Resuscitate You, Like, After A Bit.

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.
