Art Is Not A Career

When I Was At Art School, A Lot Of Art Education Is About Art Being A Means Of Self-expression, And As An 18-year-old I Didn't Know If I Had A Huge Amount I Wanted To Express. It Was A Big Moment When I Decided I Wanted To Shift The Emphasis Or The Intention Of My Art From Something I Disgorged Myself Upon And Something That Actually Fed Me Or Made Me See The World Or Understand The World.

The Relationship Between The Public And The Artist Is Complex And Difficult To Explain. There Is A Fine Line Between Using This Critical Energy Creatively And Pandering To It.

It's Frightening And Unnerving To Watch A Stone Melt.

I Think That Any Sculpture Is A Response To Its Environment. It Can Be Brought To Life Or Put To Sleep By The Environment.

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.
