Art For Me Is A Form Of

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.

The Essence Of Drawing Is The Line Exploring Space.

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

I Want To Get Under The Surface. When I Work With A Leaf, Rock, Stick, It Is Not Just That Material In Itself, It Is An Opening Into The Processes Of Life Within And Around It. When I Leave It, These Processes Continue.

A Snowball Is Simple, Direct And Familiar To Most Of Us. I Use This Simplicity As A Container For Feelings And Ideas That Function On Many Levels.
