The elemental world we all live in is the darkness of the body.

Making beautiful things for everyday use is a wonderful thing to do.. making life flow more easily.. but art confronts life, allowing it to stop and perhaps change direction.. they are completely different.

We are not moving towards some kind of goal. We are at the goal, and it is changing with us. If art has any purpose, it is to open our eyes to that fact.

I always like to look for adventure when I go away. I have gone on several horse adventures with my wife - from Guangxi we went up to the High Tibetan region. We also went along the Hurunui River on horseback in the South Island of New Zealand.

I have to say that I reject somewhat the distinction between something called art and something called public art. I think all art demands and desires to be seen.

Art has to change things, and if it was immediately acceptable it would not be doing the job.
