"Tozer is a place just out from Lockhart … when you're driving out from Lockhart. When it gets stormy there … when there's rain and thunder and lightning … sometimes the place gets very wet … in the distance you can see the lightning striking there among the mountain … the mountain calls the lightning in. I see a lot of places … in mountains … I see lightning come in. When it's thunder and lightning and rain … we don't go for eggs at the time that this thunder, lightning and rain all come at the same time." -The Artist
