Like many
of you, I am hopeful that my work makes some difference. I am
less strident in presuming that my art can change the world.
I am, however, left with one simple conclusion -- that art,
agriculture and architecture all have in common a need to mine
the "essence of place": to fully understand place
and to ethically manipulate it. It takes great commitment to
view a meadow of native grasses with the focus of a child...one
intimate detail at a time.
