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.

More quotes by Patricia Piccinini
I would say my work is anti-ironic.
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
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
As we get older, our world gets smaller and we start to doubt and question. We are really suspicious of difference.
Patricia Piccinini
I put a lot of time and thought into my work, which I see as a sort of respect for both the work and the audience, and I have always been very concerned that the materiality of the work reflects that.
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 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
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
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
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
Artists make worlds for people to walk through.
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
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 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 don't think 'Dark Heart' has to be malevolent. It conveys a sense of depth. There is a sense of questioning turmoil.
Patricia Piccinini
I am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.
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
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 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.
