Sometimes you need to stop doing something to really see it afresh.

I enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.

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

Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.

I want to get under the surface. When I work with a leaf, rock, stick, it is not just that material in itself, it is an opening into the processes of life within and around it. When I leave it, these processes continue.

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.

The essence of drawing is the line exploring space.
