when I lived in London for five years, I was still

- I'm
very fortunate to live right on Sydney Harbour.
So, I mean, every time I look out the studio window,
there's Sydney. So, clearly, it's a most significant
thing for me to see.

- Can
it be that the artist who paints flowers starts
at a disadvantage? Almost certainly. To many people
botanical subjects seem not altogether serious..
a kind of pictorial relaxation, an easy matter
compared to landscape or the human figure.

- Generally
I walk around and I see one object and it affects
me. I can't just choose any object or any theme
to work with. I can be confronted by an object
and be interested in a specific thing about it,
and then the context develops simultaneously.
I never try to create a context artificially.

- I'm
not interested in corporations having my work.
Some corporations collect my work, that's fine.
But let's say I use a specific product, like a
Spalding basketball, I don't want Spalding to
have my basketball. I don't do it for that reason.

- Initially,
a lot of people are put off by my work. I don't
purposefully start out to make something grotesque..
it just ends up that way.

- I
don't like the idea of being an artist on the
outside looking in, because I've felt that way
as a migrant. I want to be in the middle of things
and create pieces that reflect the world we live
in, because we all share the same world.

Empathy
- 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.
