We often forget that we are nature.

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.

Time gives growth, it gives continuity and it gives change. And in the case of some sculptures, time gives a patina to them.

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

I go way beyond just the wood and stone but to the process of growth and farming and the tensions between the two.

The things that I make are that which a person will make. They're not meant to mimic nature. They are nothing but the result of a hand of a person.

I have six acres in front of my own house, which I very rarely work on. Most of the work occurs on farmers' fields around me. And I like the discipline of working on other people's land.
