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
As we get older, our world gets smaller and we start to doubt and question. We are really suspicious of difference.
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 struggle in life to find a sense of joy in things.
Patricia Piccinini
It's interesting to work with what's important today, which is meaningful for our everyday lives.
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
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.
