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.

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

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.

A snowball is simple, direct and familiar to most of us. I use this simplicity as a container for feelings and ideas that function on many levels.

Ideas must be put to the test. That's why we make things; otherwise they would be no more than ideas. There is often a huge difference between an idea and its realization. I've had what I thought were great ideas that just didn't work.

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 British climate, although it is very wet, it is quite mild in winter. We don't get these severe - generally don't get severe winters.
