- 8. IN HIS OWN WORDS...
- 9. WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES...
- 10. ... “I like making things...it has become a habit... that is how I start work on a sculpture, I think that is the way It should be. Three dimensional things make sense to me.”
- 11. THE NATURE OF HIS SCULPTURES...
- 12. ... “They are not random works, but all are related by geometry. My work is produced in a framework of discipline which relates one work to another so that there is a coherence with what has gone before.”
- 13. INTERACTION WITH HIS PUBLIC WORKS...
- 14. ... “What pleases me most is that kids have a great time with them. Families sit on them for photos.”
- 15. PEOPLE’S REACTION TO HIS PUBLIC WORKS...
- 16. ... “Watching them from a shopfront I saw an old lady looking at it, then she took out her hanky and started polishing it and I thought – that’s about as good as it gets.”
- 17. CONFIDENCE AS AN ARTIST...
- 18. ... “I make things because it occurs to me, then hope that other people see what I see and want it.”
- 20. ... “You have to be an opportunist, whatever you see you grab. But, you have to stay alert all the time, watching very closely, taking advantage of accidental happenings.”
