"It is important that we see the Earth as a living entity, only then can we understand where we fit in"
"There is a great mystery hiding in the shadows of the every day world, weaving in out of what is real and what we think is real. I find myself drawn to the need to record this ever moving mystery, not to dissect it or label it, just to touch it with my brush or my words."
"I have worked hard at removing 'man' from the 'centre of all things' by putting him in his rightful place. Equally, among all living things."
