I Have Worked With This Red All

I Can't Edit The Materials I Work With. My Remit Is To Work With Nature As A Whole. I Find Nature As A Whole Disturbing. Nature Can Be Harsh – Difficult And Brutal, As Well As Beautiful. You Couldn't Walk Five Minutes From Here Without Coming Across Something That Is Dead Or Decaying.

One Of The Beauties Of Art Is That It Reflects An Artist's Entire Life. What I've Learned Over The Past 30 Years Is Really Beginning To Inform What I Make. I Hope That Process Continues Until I Die.

Art For Me Is A Form Of Nourishment. I Need The Land. I Need It.

The Process Of Growth Is Obviously Critical To My Understanding Of The Land And Myself. So The Process Is Far More Unpredictable With Far More Compromises With The Day, The Weather, The Material.

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.
