I would say my work is anti-ironic.
Patricia Piccinini
Image
I am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.

It's interesting to work with what's important today, which is meaningful for our everyday lives.

Image
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.

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

Image
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.

In one hundred years time people will look back and think 'these people were really worried about the environment, they were looking at things to do with global warming, and this is why they were making work about these issues'.
Patricia Piccinini
Image
I tend to work towards specific exhibitions, so there will often be a big push towards the end when we're finishing off a bunch of stuff.
Patricia Piccinini
Image
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.

Image
Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.
Patricia Piccinini
Image
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
Image
I pretty much keep everything we have drawers full of samples and tests and every old catalogue and magazine.

Artists make worlds for people to walk through.

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.
