Objects in a park suggest static repose rather than any ongoing dialectic. Parks are finished landscapes for finished art .

People don't remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.

Labor should not be about creating monuments on hills or statues in parks. Labor's monuments and statues are when a young person can find a job, when a person with disability can get access to the ordinary life that others take for granted.

Parks are idealizations of nature, but nature in fact is not a condition of the ideal.

I'd been to Stourhead and was inspired by the perfect parity between architecture and art; in fact, the architecture is the art. I wrote a piece called 'Not Sculpture Park,' because most of these things become car parks for bought-in sculpture. The artists should be working with the site, not just plonking pieces down.

Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.

The parks are our national treasures, and they must be shown more respect, not only by visitors but also the people who run them.

Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

The paintings to me are always canvas; sculpture has always been metal, though I have made sculpture in wood, also.

Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
