One of the beauties of art is that it reflects an artist's entire life. What I've learned over the past 30 years is really beginning to inform what I make. I hope that process continues until I die.

I think that I'm always trying to get beyond the surface appearance of things, to go beyond what I can just see.

We often forget that we are nature.

The main source of my income is through the commissions of the large-scale works and big sculptures, the projects.

My art recognizes the human place, the human context - especially in Britain, which is a landscape so worked by people for thousands of years, written, deeply ingrained with the presence of people.

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

I think I have been fashioned by the fickle weather of Britain that it is - it's forever changing. There's no kind of constant sun or dry weather or freezing weather, and I'm always having to change and adapt to that.
