"I have developed a method of making cast iron sculptures from foam patterns which I assemble and put together in the studio; and one of the intriguing aspects to this is the sense of trust that has grown up in the work. I have been able to give up agonising over the process and am amazed that as long as I persevere with the role of allowing the structure to happen, to manifest itself, it all flows into existence with a dazzling amount of ease, and I am more of a spectator to the event." (Artist's statement, 1986)
