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

How does contemporary technology and culture changes our understanding of what it means to be human. What is our relationship with - and responsibilities towards - that which we create.

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

The illusion of life is crucial for the work, otherwise the ideas wouldn't be able to jump across, people wouldn't engage with it.

Perhaps because of this, many have looked at my practice in terms of science and technology, however, for me it is just as informed by Surrealism and mythology.

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

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 feel that there's hardly any irony in my work; if there's anything, there'll be sincerity, which people sometimes find hard to deal with.

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

I don't think 'Dark Heart' has to be malevolent. It conveys a sense of depth. There is a sense of questioning turmoil.

I usually have several things on the go. Whether it is my own drawings for the next work that I am working on while a sculpture is being fabricated or several works at different points in production.

Grace saved my life

The existence of true religion is predicated on the practice of goodness. Goodness is Godliness. There is nothing else. Religion lies in practice, not in bookish theories.

I work mornings only. I go out to lunch. Afternoons I play with the baby, walk with my husband, or shovel mail.

It's the imperfections that make something beautiful, that's what makes it different and unique from everything else.

Just be true to you. What works for me might not work for someone else and what works for someone else might not work for me.

The way out is the way through.

I'm a real positive person. Non-violent. Love everybody. I'm definitely an asset to the world.

We didn't talk about our scars, the ones you could see and the ones you couldn't.

Just let me live my life.
