Occasionally I Have Come Across A Last

The Relationship Between The Public And The Artist Is Complex And Difficult To Explain. There Is A Fine Line Between Using This Critical Energy Creatively And Pandering To It.

Movement, Change, Light, Growth And Decay Are The Lifeblood Of Nature, The Energies That I I Try To Tap Through My Work. I Need The Shock Of Touch, The Resistance Of Place, Materials And Weather, The Earth As My Source. Nature Is In A State Of Change And That Change Is The Key To Understanding. I Want My Art To Be Sensitive And Alert To Changes In Material, Season And Weather. Each Work Grows, Stays, Decays. Process And Decay Are Implicit. Transience In My Work Reflects What I Find In Nature.

There Is Life In A Stone. Any Stone That Sits In A Field Or Lies On A Beach Takes On The Memory Of That Place. You Can Feel That Stones Have Witnessed So Many Things.

People Do Not Realise That Many Of My Works Are Done In Urban Places. I Was Brought Up On The Edge Of Leeds, Five Miles From The City Centre-on One Side Were Fields And On The Other, The City.

Movement, Change, Light, Growth, And Decay Are The Life-blood Of Nature, The Energies That I Try To Tap Through My Work.
