The reason why the stone is red is its iron content, which is also why our blood is red.

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

Fire is the origin of stone.By working the stone with heat, I am returning it to its source.

We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.

Everything has the energy of its making inside it.

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

For me looking, touching, material, place and form are all inseparable from the resulting work. It is difficult to say where one stops and another begins. Place is found by walking, direction determined by weather and season. I take the opportunity each day offers: if it is snowing, I work in snow, at leaf-fall it will be leaves; a blown over tree becomes a source of twigs and branches.
