The essence of sculpture is for me the perception of space, the continuum of our existence.

It is weight that gives meaning to weightlessness.

Appreciate the moment.

The art of stone in a Japanese garden is that of placement. Its ideal does not deviate from that of nature.

It is said that stone is the affection of old men. That may be so. It is the most challenging to work. A dialogue ensues – of chance no chance, mistakes no mistakes. No erasing or reproduction is possible, at least in the way I work, leaving nature’s mark. It is unique and final.

I perceive my limitations even as I work. There are times when I see nothing but restrictions, barriers. Learning takes time.

Art should become as one with its surroundings.
