I enjoy working in a quiet and subversive way.
From Andy Goldsworthy
Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality.
I am not a performer but occasionally I deliberately work in a public context. Some sculptures need the movement of people around them to work.
It's frightening and unnerving to watch a stone melt.
A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories.
Occasionally I have come across a last patch of snow on top of a mountain in late May or June. There's something very powerful about finding snow in summer.
The early firings contained many stones.
Fire is the origin of stone. By working the stone with heat, I am returning it to its source.
The hardened mass of liquid stones had much stronger qualities than those which had simply torn. The skin remained a recognisable part of the molten stone.
I did tests on small stones before collecting and committing myself to the larger ones.
