I Am Not A Performer

We Leave Our Presence In The Pavement. We're Walking Over It, Sitting On Steps.

The Things That I Make Are That Which A Person Will Make. They're Not Meant To Mimic Nature. They Are Nothing But The Result Of A Hand Of A Person.

The Underlying Tension Of A Lot Of My Art Is To Try And Look Through The Surface Appearance Of Things. Inevitably, One Way Of Getting Beneath The Surface Is To Introduce A Hole, A Window Into What Lies Below.

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.

Looking, Touching, Material, Place And Form Are All Inseparable From The Resulting Work. It Is Difficult To Say Where One Stops And Another Begins. The Energy And Space Around A Material Are As Important As The Energy And Space Within. The Weather--rain, Sun, Snow, Hail, Mist, Calm--is That External Space Made Visible. When I Touch A Rock, I Am Touching And Working The Space Around It. It Is Not Independent Of Its Surroundings, And The Way It Sits Tells How It Came To Be There.
