The studio does a lot of testing before we settle on a system. Unfortunately, this means that price tends to come pretty far down the list.

More quotes by Patricia Piccinini
I don't want the ideas to be limited by what I can physically do. The ideas come first.
Patricia Piccinini
Obviously, I don't make an entire edition all at once, so the studio often goes back to produce editions, but that's a bit different. I guess I'm always thinking about the next work.
Patricia Piccinini
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 pretty much keep everything we have drawers full of samples and tests and every old catalogue and magazine.
Patricia Piccinini
It's much easier to do something that's seen as being serious because people accept it right away, they don't question what you do, they just accept, because they think you must be right.
Patricia Piccinini
I usually have several things on the go. Whether it is my own drawings for the next work that I am working on while a sculpture is being fabricated or several works at different points in production.
Patricia Piccinini
Perhaps because of this, many have looked at my practice in terms of science and technology, however, for me it is just as informed by Surrealism and mythology.
Patricia Piccinini
I started thinking of digital imaging, not photography, in 1994 as it seemed the most appropriate way to deal with ideas of biotechnology and advertising. My practice is conceptual.
Patricia Piccinini
I am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.
Patricia Piccinini
How does contemporary technology and culture changes our understanding of what it means to be human. What is our relationship with - and responsibilities towards - that which we create.
Patricia Piccinini
Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.
Patricia Piccinini
I struggle in life to find a sense of joy in things.
Patricia Piccinini
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
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
My Father is a photographer, so it was always around. I was trained in painting, so I learnt a lot of skills about composition, light, colour, the formal attributes of images.
Patricia Piccinini
I would say my work is anti-ironic.
Patricia Piccinini
In the studio we spend a lot of time working our what materials will work best and also last. We do tests and come back to them years later to see how they are still performing, and this leads our decisions.
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
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.
