Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.
Patricia Piccinini
As we get older, our world gets smaller and we start to doubt and question. We are really suspicious of difference.
Patricia Piccinini
It's interesting to work with what's important today, which is meaningful for our everyday lives.

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.
Patricia Piccinini
I struggle in life to find a sense of joy in things.

My practice is focused on bodies and relationships the relationships between people and other creatures, between people and our bodies, between creatures and the environment, between the artificial and the natural.
Patricia Piccinini
I don't want the ideas to be limited by what I can physically do. The ideas come first.
Patricia Piccinini
I don't set out to make something that is repulsive and that would scare people. I know that some people don't like what I make, and don't find it cute, but that's hard for me to understand.
Patricia Piccinini
I certainly don't see the humour in my work as something that detracts from its seriousness. It's just a way of making difficult messages more palatable.
Patricia Piccinini
I would say my work is anti-ironic.
Patricia Piccinini
I pretty much keep everything we have drawers full of samples and tests and every old catalogue and magazine.
Patricia Piccinini
I don't think 'Dark Heart' has to be malevolent. It conveys a sense of depth. There is a sense of questioning turmoil.
Patricia Piccinini
I feel that there's hardly any irony in my work if there's anything, there'll be sincerity, which people sometimes find hard to deal with.
Patricia Piccinini
I have had sculptures cast in bronze, silver and aluminium. My drawings are all graphite or pigment ink and gouache on paper.
