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.

More quotes by 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
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
Artists make worlds for people to walk through.
Patricia Piccinini
I have had sculptures cast in bronze, silver and aluminium. My drawings are all graphite or pigment ink and gouache on paper.
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 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 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
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
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
Ideas rather than methods are central to they way I work, although drawing plays a central generative role in everything I do.
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
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 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
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
Of course, all my work is photographed and I also take quite a lot of photographs of work in production.
Patricia Piccinini
It's interesting to work with what's important today, which is meaningful for our everyday lives.
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 would say my work is anti-ironic.
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.
