It’s just that when I work on someone else’s land, it makes me aware of the social nature of that landscape Picture Quote #1

I have six acres in front of my own house, which I very rarely work on. Most of the work occurs on farmers’ fields around me. And I like the discipline of working on other people’s land Picture Quote #1

If you’ve ever come across a tree that you’ve lived with for many years and then one day it’s blown over, there’s incredible shock and violence about that Picture Quote #1

I think that any sculpture is a response to its environment. It can be brought to life or put to sleep by the environment Picture Quote #1

I have worked with this red all over the world - in Japan, California, France, Britain, Australia - a vein running round the earth. It has taught me about the flow, energy and life that connects one place with another Picture Quote #1

The main source of my income is through the commissions of the large-scale works and big sculptures, the projects Picture Quote #1

Ideas must be put to the test. That’s why we make things, otherwise they would be no more than ideas. There is often a huge difference between an idea and its realisation. I’ve had what I thought were great ideas that just didn’t work Picture Quote #1

When I do the permanent projects or the big projects, when a work is finished, that’s the beginning of its life Picture Quote #1

As with all my work, whether it’s a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I’m trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone Picture Quote #1
