"The foundation of my making lies in prolonged, undistracted encounters with the natural world, it's forces and elements: hours rather than minutes, absorption rather than classification. This practice — known as metsäkylpy in Finland and in recent times as “forest bathing”, embraces contemplative wandering in Nature as a source of physical and spiritual renewal. Through stillness and sustained reflection I find that my perception shifts and subtle forms of knowledge and awareness begin to surface. The sentiments of John Muir encapsulate these feelings"
“In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks. The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness”
