Occasionally I have come across a last patch of snow on top of a mountain in late May or June. There's something very powerful about finding snow in summer.

People also leave presence in a place even when they are no longer there.

When I make a work, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse, and that's a very beautiful balance.

I think that I'm always trying to get beyond the surface appearance of things, to go beyond what I can just see.

I'm cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames.

The photography is not the aim of the work; the articulation of the work through photography is another way of understanding what's going on and what's happening outside.

I love the winter. Well, I love all the seasons, but the winter is possibly one of the most intense.
