The Main Reason I Went To Digital

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

When I Was At Art School, A Lot Of Art Education Is About Art Being A Means Of Self-expression, And As An 18-year-old I Didn't Know If I Had A Huge Amount I Wanted To Express. It Was A Big Moment When I Decided I Wanted To Shift The Emphasis Or The Intention Of My Art From Something I Disgorged Myself Upon And Something That Actually Fed Me Or Made Me See The World Or Understand The World.

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

Ideas Must Be Put To The Test. That's Why We Make Things; Otherwise They Would Be No More Than Ideas. There Is Often A Huge Difference Between An Idea And Its Realization. I've Had What I Thought Were Great Ideas That Just Didn't Work.

I Think I Have Been Fashioned By The Fickle Weather Of Britain That It Is - It's Forever Changing. There's No Kind Of Constant Sun Or Dry Weather Or Freezing Weather, And I'm Always Having To Change And Adapt To That.
