I See My Work Plagiarized In Gardening Programmes And Decorating Programmes And Car Adverts, And I Suppose I Have To Accept That's Just The Way Art Gets Assimilated Into Culture.

Movement, Change, Light, Growth And Decay Are The Lifeblood Of Nature, The Energies That I I Try To Tap Through My Work. I Need The Shock Of Touch, The Resistance Of Place, Materials And Weather, The Earth As My Source. Nature Is In A State Of Change And That Change Is The Key To Understanding. I Want My Art To Be Sensitive And Alert To Changes In Material, Season And Weather. Each Work Grows, Stays, Decays. Process And Decay Are Implicit.

If I Had To Describe My Work In One Word, That Word Would Be Time.
