As we get older, our world gets smaller and we start to doubt and question. We are really suspicious of difference.

We always use plywood rather than MDF for structural stuff for the same reasons [stability].

We always use resin instead of polyurethane, even though it takes more work and is in places where it can't be seen, because resin tends to be more UV stable than urethane.

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.

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

We tend to be talking to fabricators in the film and special effects or automotive customisation worlds. That having been said, I'm sure as more and more artists come to use these sorts of media, the expertise amongst conservators is going to keep pace with that.

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.
