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

I have six acres in front of my own house, which I very rarely work on. Most of the work occurs on farmers' fields around me. And I like the discipline of working on other people's land.

The things that I make are that which a person will make. They're not meant to mimic nature. They are nothing but the result of a hand of a person.

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.

The British climate, although it is very wet, it is quite mild in winter. We don't get these severe - generally don't get severe winters.

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

People are the nature of the city, and you can feel it in the pavement.
