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.

We leave our presence in the pavement. We're walking over it, sitting on steps.

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.

I'm very fortunate to be able to do what I do and live the way I do.
