Now that other people have my works, it's really important to me that what they have has longevity.

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.

I would say my work is anti-ironic.

In the studio we use a pretty wide range of materials for the sculptures; silicone, fibreglass, human and animal hair, ABS plastic, dental acrylic, traditional and high-tech plasters, stainless steel, automotive paint, plywood, Britannia metal, found objects and taxidermy animals.

I work with whatever mediums seems best suited to evoking the sorts of thoughts and emotions I am interested in playing with.

Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.

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.
