Biografia
I’m still concerned with subject/object relationships and the loss of untouched landscape. I think of myself as an artist in the Romantic tradition where loss and historical contingency are both driving forces behind discontentment and powerlessness. The more we clear, the more we lighten, the more we create a world of political management. We need the symbolic darkness of the wilderness to enable us to be free, to be free from worry about how we are to manage a completely lightened, humanised world. I think that apart from supporting those who defend our wild places, Art is the only other way to come to terms with the loss that happens every minute of the day.
