It's interesting to work with what's important today, which is meaningful for our everyday lives.

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

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

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

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.

A child came up to me and asked 'am I dreaming?' I had a similar experience coming to the Art Gallery of South Australia when I was a child. My mum had done a workshop here and it stayed with me. It's an important formative time.

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.
