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
Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.
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
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 am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.
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
Thinking is a social process. I talk to everyone from children to anthropologists and philosophers. I try my ideas out on people and they talk back to you. That's how ideas get formed.
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
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
I would say my work is anti-ironic.
Patricia Piccinini
Artists make worlds for people to walk through.
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
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
The idea that we can have a new life form, what does it say about the zoo's main purpose, which is to preserve life? What does it say when the artificial and real animal can have the same attraction to people?
Patricia Piccinini
Of course, all my work is photographed and I also take quite a lot of photographs of work in production.
Patricia Piccinini
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
I work with whatever mediums seems best suited to evoking the sorts of thoughts and emotions I am interested in playing with.
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
Ideas rather than methods are central to they way I work, although drawing plays a central generative role in everything I do.
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.
