There is life in a stone. Any stone that sits in a field or lies on a beach takes on the memory of that place. You can feel that stones have witnessed so many things.

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

The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.

Art for me is a form of nourishment. I need the land. I need it.

Complete control can be the death of a work.

I take the opportunity each day offers.
