Most of the work I make uses materials that are a bit outside of the traditional fine art world.

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.

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

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.

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.

I don't connect accessibility with lowest common denominator.

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