I have noted the following commandments/notes over my time sculpting:

• Creativity is my spirituality

• To create something, I must first become nothing.

• My Art is seeded in my soul, held in my heart and then birthed through my hands.

• Art helps me to find myself but I need to lose myself first.

• If my Ego orders me to do a sculpture, it won’t be very good.

• Clay is left dormant until the time is right.

• I believe it is imperative that sculpture be touched in order to be fully understood. Sculptures need to be experienced not just looked at.

• Nothing always leads to Something

• My personal judgment of my art is none of my business.

• When I feel paralysed…that painfully exquisite moment before any form, when everything is possible and so nothing is – I just move my hands.

• No-thing, is something, just yet to be unformed.

• When there is nothing in my head I know I’m ready to begin with the art of creating.

• Sometimes getting out of my own way is my biggest obstacle to creating.

• I need to be very courageous to allow myself the opportunity to make mistakes.

• Courage to let go, is one of the hardest things I seldom know how to do.

• If I am attached to the outcome then it is not a creation but a making.

• The clay used in sculpture has already lived in many different forms. All those beings are still alive within it. It truly is a living being.

• It feels as if an unseen force enters my soul – all I have to do is stay the hell out of it!

• My Art - It is not of me but through me.

• Sometimes I am blind until I close my eyes and see.

• We understand most when we close our eyes to our mind and what we think we see.
