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
Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.
Patricia Piccinini
I pretty much keep everything we have drawers full of samples and tests and every old catalogue and magazine.
Patricia Piccinini
It's interesting to work with what's important today, which is meaningful for our everyday lives.

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
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.
