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.

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

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

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

I would say my work is anti-ironic.

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

The studio keeps notes on the details of editions and production processes and the like.
