"My intention is not to copy nature but to express
it in a unique vision.
Sometimes I am after the energy and movement and other times
the
peacefulness and enveloping solitude it offers.
Nature has the longest history of all. I try to express
this history by
overlaying many layers of color to build up a rich surface.
I can than
choose to manipulate this surface by scraping into it with
various
techniques revealing its history. That scraping also represents
natures
vulnerability to destruction both from natural and human
causes."
