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 enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.

I did tests on small stones before collecting and committing myself to the larger ones.

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

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

You must have something new in a landscape as well as something old, something that's dying and something that's being born.

Abandoning the project was incredibly stressful after having gone through the process of building the room, installing the kiln, collecting the stones, sitting with the kiln day and night as it came to temperature, experiencing the failures.
