We Leave Our Presence In The Pavement.

The Things That I Make Are That Which A Person Will Make. They're Not Meant To Mimic Nature. They Are Nothing But The Result Of A Hand Of A Person.

As With All My Work, Whether It's A Leaf On A Rock Or Ice On A Rock, I'm Trying To Get Beneath The Surface Appearance Of Things. Working The Surface Of A Stone Is An Attempt To Understand The Internal Energy Of The Stone.

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.

As You Grow Older You Realize That Art Has An Enormous Effect. It's Frightening Sometimes To Think Of The Effect That We Can Have.
