Fire Is The Origin Of

People Do Not Realise That Many Of My Works Are Done In Urban Places. I Was Brought Up On The Edge Of Leeds, Five Miles From The City Centre-on One Side Were Fields And On The Other, The City.

When It Does Get Below Freezing And There Is - It's Cold Enough For Ice To Form, Then That Changes The Whole Landscape, And It Makes The Landscape A Different Landscape To The One That I Worked With Previously. And I Want To Understand That. But The Big Tension Of The Ice Works Is That They're Often Made When It's Cold Enough To Freeze One Piece Of Ice To Another.

People Are The Nature Of The City, And You Can Feel It In The Pavement.

I Go Way Beyond Just The Wood And Stone But To The Process Of Growth And Farming And The Tensions Between The Two.

Nature, For Me Is Raw And Dangerous And Difficult And Beautiful And Unnerving.
