It's Frightening And Unnerving To Watch A

We Often Forget That We Are Nature.

My Approach To Photograph Is Kept Simple, Almost Routine. All Work, Good And Bad, Is Documented. I Use Standard Film, A Standard Lens And No Filters. Each Work Grows, Strays, Decays-integral Parts Of A Cycle Which The Photograph Shows At Its Height, Marking The Moment When The Work Is Most Alive. There Is An Intensity About A Work At Its Peak That I Hope Is Expresses In The Image. Process And Decay Are Implicit.

Looking, Touching, Material, Place And Form Are All Inseparable From The Resulting Work. It Is Difficult To Say Where One Stops And Another Begins. The Energy And Space Around A Material Are As Important As The Energy And Space Within. The Weather--rain, Sun, Snow, Hail, Mist, Calm--is That External Space Made Visible. When I Touch A Rock, I Am Touching And Working The Space Around It. It Is Not Independent Of Its Surroundings, And The Way It Sits Tells How It Came To Be There.

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.

Art For Me Is A Form Of Nourishment. I Need The Land. I Need It.
