We Often Forget That We Are Nature.

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.

It's Just That When I Work On Someone Else's Land, It Makes Me Aware Of The Social Nature Of That Landscape.

When I’m Working With Materials It’s Not Just The Leaf Or The Stone, It’s The Processes That Are Behind Them That Are Important. That’s What I’m Trying To Understand, Not A Single Isolated Object But Nature As A Whole.

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

My Work Comes First, Reasons For It Follow.
