Skywhale is ambiguous. I think she is beautiful, but a lot of people think she is grotesque. You are drawn in and repelled at the same time, and it has to have that dynamic. My work has a certain element of abject mutation, uncertainty and darkness. Even she is dark - I mean she has ten breasts.

I don't want the ideas to be limited by what I can physically do. The ideas come first.
Patricia Piccinini
I use whatever media I think will best express my ideas and therefore I don't have a lot invested in the idea of photography specifically. I am more interested in Art.
Patricia Piccinini
I struggle in life to find a sense of joy in things.
Patricia Piccinini
I am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.
Patricia Piccinini
It's interesting to work with what's important today, which is meaningful for our everyday lives.

We did have one work where it looked like the fibreglass was discolouring, but it turned out it was reacting to the foam it was packed against in storage. We repaired it and sent it back with better packing.
Patricia Piccinini
Of course, all my work is photographed and I also take quite a lot of photographs of work in production.
Patricia Piccinini
I work with whatever mediums seems best suited to evoking the sorts of thoughts and emotions I am interested in playing with.

As we get older, our world gets smaller and we start to doubt and question. We are really suspicious of difference.
