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

I can't edit the materials I work with. My remit is to work with nature as a whole.

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.

Generally in New York, people just walk over you with no problem about that. Other countries, people want to resuscitate you, like, after a bit.

When I’m working with materials it’s not just the leaf or the stone, it’s the processes that are behind them that are important. That’s what I’m trying to understand, not a single isolated object but nature as a whole.

Not being able to touch is sometimes as interesting as being able to touch.

I think that any sculpture is a response to its environment. It can be brought to life or put to sleep by the environment.
