The number of times that I have thought that I could move on from the
 bush and the garden have brought me no further: there is it seems, so much more to gain. Artists return again and again to their subject. The fact of doing so gives me a lifeline. I have spent sixteen years now in this small landscape, watching and feeling the changes in it and in me. It will of course outlast me but whilst I am in it, it is in me and that engagement continues to hold me close.
