I take the opportunity each day offers.

Ephemeral work made outside, for and about a day, lies at the core of my art and its making must be kept private.

We often forget that we are nature.

If I'm going to understand the land, I have to understand the wind, the snow, the rain, the leaves, the ice, and changes in temperature. It just reflects a reality for me.

If you've ever come across a tree that you've lived with for many years and then one day it's blown over, there's incredible shock and violence about that.

I'm not a performer, in that I don't like the public, but I work in that respect.

I am not a performer but occasionally I deliberately work in a public context. Some sculptures need the movement of people around them to work.
