The Things That I Make

I Think That Any Sculpture Is A Response To Its Environment. It Can Be Brought To Life Or Put To Sleep By The Environment.

The First Snowball I Froze Was Put In My Mother's Deep Freeze When I Was In My Early 20s.

I've Laid Down In Dried Up Streambeds, Leaving A Shadow. And Then, Five Minutes Later, It's Flash Flooded, And Where I Once Laid Is Now Running Water, Which Would've Washed Me Away, You Know? There's That Power And Danger Often In Places That Look So Calm And Pastoral To Begin With.

When I’m Working With Materials It’s Not Just The Leaf Or The Stone, It’s The Processes That Are Behind Them That Are Important. That’s What I’m Trying To Understand, Not A Single Isolated Object But Nature As A Whole.

My Sculpture Can Last For Days Or A Few Seconds - What Is Important To Me Is The Experience Of Making. I Leave All My Work Outside And Often Return To Watch It Decay.
