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

For me it is a matter of respect for the ideas in the work and the people who look at them. I absolutely hate it when works come back to the studio for repair, and I try to make sure that they never do.

Ideas rather than methods are central to they way I work, although drawing plays a central generative role in everything I do.

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.

Materials are very important to me, and always have been.

If there are moments in my work when people find joy and humour, that's a real success for me.

I am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.
