I Go Way Beyond Just

We Often Forget That We Are Nature.

Fire Is The Origin Of Stone.by Working The Stone With Heat, I Am Returning It To Its Source.

I Have To Understand The Nature Of Change. And I Cannot Just Work With Stone Or The More Permanent Materials. I Need To Work With Leaves And Ice And Snow And Mud And Clay And Water And The Rising Tide And The Wind And All These.

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. Transience In My Work Reflects What I Find In Nature.

I Just See Myself As An Object In The Final Image. I Know I'm Experiencing It When I'm There Working On It. I'm There To Be Worked With, As Anything Else That I Work With.
