Confrontation is something that I accept as part of the project though not its purpose.

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

A lot of my work is like picking potatoes; you have to get into the rhythm of it. It is different than patience. It is not thinking. It is working with the rhythm.

I take the opportunity each day offers.

In contact with materials, I can see so much more with my hands than I can just with my eyes. I'm a participant, not a spectator. I see myself both as an object and a material, and the human presence is really important to the landscapes in which I work.

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 have to understand the nature of change. And I cannot just work with stone or the more permanent materials. I need to work with leaves and ice and snow and mud and clay and water and the rising tide and the wind and all these.
