"RIVER AVON MUD SLOW SPIRAL" HAUNCH OF VENISON LONDON 2005 #memories

The speed of the hand gestures is important because that's what makes the splashes, which shows the wateriness of the mud, and water is the main subject and content of these works, they show it's nature. "MAKING RIVER AVON MUD ARC" GUGGENHEIM BILBAO 2000 #exhibitions

You could say that my work is a balance between the patterns of nature and the formalism of human, abstract ideas like lines and circles. It is where my human characteristics meet the natural forces and patterns of the world, and that is really the kind of subject of my work. "CORNISH SLATE CROSS" BEDFORD HILLS NY 2007/2019

"MAKING PADDY-FIELD CHAFF CIRCLE" WARLI TRIBAL LAND MAHARASHTRA INDIA 2003

I guess i'm an opportunist. I go out into the worl with an open mind, and i rely to a degree on intuition and chance. The idea of making art out of nothing, i've got a lot of time for that. POSITIVE NEGATIVE A 15 DAY WALK IN THE THREE SISTERS WILDERNESS OREGON 2001

One thing i like about my work is all the different ways it can be in the world. A local could walk by and not notice it, or notice it and not know anything about me. Or someone could come upon a circle and know it was a circle of mine. I really like the notion of the visibility or invisibility of the work as well as the permanence and transience. "A LINE IN IRELAND" 1974 #tbt

My art is the essence of my experience, not a representation of it. "FIVE PATHS" GALERÍA MARIO SEQUEIRA BRAGA PORTUGAL 2004 #exhibitions

My work has become a simple metaphor of life. A figure walking down his road, making his mark. It is an affirmation of my human scale and senses. "A LINE MADE BY WALKING" ENGLAND 1967 #tbt
