My approach to photograph is kept simple, almost routine. All work, good and bad, is documented. I use standard film, a standard lens and no filters. Each work grows, strays, decays-integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its height, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expresses in the image. Process and decay are implicit.

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

Once the fired stone is out of the kiln, it is still possible to mentally reconstruct it in its original form.

We often forget that we are nature.

It's just that when I work on someone else's land, it makes me aware of the social nature of that landscape.

I'm not a performer, in that I don't like the public, but I work in that respect.

Ephemeral work made outside, for and about a day, lies at the core of my art and its making must be kept private.
