You need fighters like me to battle, because frankly The New York Times and the Washington Post are not going to fight the fights that I do. ↗

Ideas must be put to the test. That's why we make things, otherwise they would be no more than ideas. There is often a huge difference between an idea and its realisation. I've had what I thought were great ideas that just didn't work. ↗

Abandoning the project was incredibly stressful after having gone through the process of building the room, installing the kiln, collecting the stones, sitting with the kiln day and night as it came to temperature, experiencing the failures. ↗

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. ↗

Confrontation is something that I accept as part of the project though not its purpose. ↗

Fire is the origin of stone.By working the stone with heat, I am returning it to its source. ↗

I have walked around the same streets so many times, and then seen a place that had been hidden to me. I now know the sites in a way that makes me think I could have made better use of the connections between place and snowball. ↗

I soon realised that what had happened on a small scale cannot necessarily be repeated on a larger scale. The stones were so big that the amount of heat required was prohibitively expensive and wasteful. ↗

I'm cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames. ↗
