I Enjoy Working In A Quiet And

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

I Soon Realised That What Had Happened On A Small Scale Cannot Necessarily Be Repeated On A Larger Scale. The Stones Were So Big That The Amount Of Heat Required Was Prohibitively Expensive And Wasteful.

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.

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

When It Does Get Below Freezing And There Is - It's Cold Enough For Ice To Form, Then That Changes The Whole Landscape, And It Makes The Landscape A Different Landscape To The One That I Worked With Previously. And I Want To Understand That. But The Big Tension Of The Ice Works Is That They're Often Made When It's Cold Enough To Freeze One Piece Of Ice To Another.
