More quotes by 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
I work with whatever mediums seems best suited to evoking the sorts of thoughts and emotions I am interested in playing with.
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
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
Of course, all my work is photographed and I also take quite a lot of photographs of work in production.
Patricia Piccinini
I would say my work is anti-ironic.
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
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 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
The studio does a lot of testing before we settle on a system. Unfortunately, this means that price tends to come pretty far down the list.
Patricia Piccinini
Skywhale is ambiguous. I think she is beautiful, but a lot of people think she is grotesque. You are drawn in and repelled at the same time, and it has to have that dynamic. My work has a certain element of abject mutation, uncertainty and darkness. Even she is dark - I mean she has ten breasts.
Patricia Piccinini
I pretty much keep everything we have drawers full of samples and tests and every old catalogue and magazine.
Patricia Piccinini
I am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.
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
Artists make worlds for people to walk through.
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 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
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 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 struggle in life to find a sense of joy in things.
