Three Or Four Stones In One Firing

I'm Not A Performer, In That I Don't Like The Public, But I Work In That Respect.

Three Or Four Stones In One Firing Will All React Differently. I Try To Achieve A Balance Between Those That Haven't Progressed Enough And Those About To Go Too Far.

The Difference Between A Theatre With And Without An Audience Is Enormous. There Is A Palpable, Critical Energy Created By The Presence Of The Audience.

My Approach To Photograph Is Kept Simple, Almost Routine. All Work, Good And Bad, Is Documented. I Use Standard Film, A Standard Lens And No Filters. Each Work Grows, Strays, Decays-integral Parts Of A Cycle Which The Photograph Shows At Its Height, Marking The Moment When The Work Is Most Alive. There Is An Intensity About A Work At Its Peak That I Hope Is Expresses In The Image. Process And Decay Are Implicit.

We Leave Our Presence In The Pavement. We're Walking Over It, Sitting On Steps.
