Of course, all my work is photographed and I also take quite a lot of photographs of work in production.

Ideas rather than methods are central to they way I work, although drawing plays a central generative role in everything I do.

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

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.

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

I have been interested in visual arts since high school and, after realising that I had absolutely no interest in the economics degree I had undertaken at ANU, I started a BFA in Sydney which I completed at VCA in Melbourne.

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