Patricia Piccinini is one of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary artists. She is best known for her hybrid, figurative sculptures rendered in silicone and hair. Piccinini was Australia’s representative at the 2003 Venice Biennale. Since the early 1990s, her interdisciplinary practice—surreal drawings, hybrid animals and vehicular creatures—has questioned the way that contemporary technology and culture changes our understanding of what it means to be human. Piccinini wonders at our relationships with, and responsibilities towards, the creatures that surround us. While ethics are central, her approach is ambiguous, gentle and questioning rather than moralistic or didactic.
