The Early Firings Contained Many Stones.

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.

The Photography Is Not The Aim Of The Work; The Articulation Of The Work Through Photography Is Another Way Of Understanding What's Going On And What's Happening Outside.

Understanding The Materials I Work With... Gives Me A Deeper Understanding Of My Place. And It's Helped Me Make Sense Of The Changes That Are Happening To Me As I Grow Older.

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.

The Main Source Of My Income Is Through The Commissions Of The Large-scale Works And Big Sculptures, The Projects.
