The difference between a theatre with and without an audience is enormous. There is a palpable, critical energy created by the presence of the audience.

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

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

The stones tear like flesh, rather than breaking. Although what happens is violent, it is a violence that is in stone. A tear is more unnerving than a break.

Nature, for me is raw and dangerous and difficult and beautiful and unnerving.

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.

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.
