My Art Is An Attempt To Reach Beyond The Surface Appearance. I Want To See Growth In Wood, Time In Stone, Nature In A City, And I Do Not Mean Its Parks But A Deeper Understanding That A City Is Nature Too-the Ground Upon Which It Is Built, The Stone With Which It Is Made.

I Can't Edit The Materials I Work With. My Remit Is To Work With Nature As A Whole.
