"When making work for water I have thought of anchors and keels, the ballast, the part that is beneath the water's surface; the above and beneath are integral. With the land I think of roots, that hold deep beneath. I see the surface of the sand as I see the surface of the water, the horizontal aspect as a canvas for shadows to cast upon".
