It's Art That's Taught Me To Think

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.

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.

Fire Is The Origin Of Stone.by Working The Stone With Heat, I Am Returning It To Its Source.

I Have To Understand The Nature Of Change. And I Cannot Just Work With Stone Or The More Permanent Materials. I Need To Work With Leaves And Ice And Snow And Mud And Clay And Water And The Rising Tide And The Wind And All These.

Some Of The Snowballs Have A Kind Of Animal Energy. Not Just Because Of The Materials Inside Them, But In The Way That They Appear Caged, Captured.
