I don't want the ideas to be limited by what I can physically do. The ideas come first.

I think people perceive my creatures as absurd because they look different, but at the same time, they are a little bit familiar. I want people to feel a kind of empathy with them. When you think about it, all nature is kind of strange looking.. in fact, I'm a strange a looking creature.

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.

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

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

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'.
