‘It seems that making art is chasing after an elusive dream of perfection that sits somewhere in my head. It will not go away, even after fifty years of trying. After all this time the process of holding materials, cutting, crushing, cradling or just placing them violently or tenderly, is what it’s about. Every action is a stream of discovery of something that hasn’t existed before – it’s a miracle and a bloody disaster. And so every sculpture leads to the next piece in the great puzzle. Much of this work is initiated in the subconscious. The different processes connect me with something physical or metaphysical that needs to be understood. In this way I discovered and dealt with past trauma. Things that didn’t make sense but once transposed into clay became obvious. In this way personal experiences were opened out into universal experiences.’
