"All my early memories are of forms and shapes and textures. Moving through and over the West Riding landscape with my father in his car, the hills were sculptures; the roads defined the form.

This sensation has never left me. I, the sculptor, am the landscape. I am the form and the hollow, the thrust and the contour."
