Patricia often creates acutely aesthetic and appealing works as a means of discussing complex ethical issues.  She is also fascinated by the mechanisms of consumer culture. Read on to see the strange, half-human creatures entitled "The Young Family". 

She is keenly interested in how contemporary ideas of nature, the natural and the artificial are changing our society.  "Her art embodies our dreams — dreams of perfect children, of perfect health, of life disease-free, and articulates the value of difference and uncertainty in human life.

Since graduating from the Victoria College of the Arts, Melbourne, in the early 1990s, her works have explored the body's intimate relationship to its environment, reflecting on issues of genetic engineering and medical science to consumption, suburban living and car culture. 

Piccinini’s work is more often than not realised as immersive environments - ranging from the computer generated forest that is Plasticology to the turbulent ocean vista of Swell. She has an ambivalent attitude towards technology and  uses her artistic practice as a forum for discussion about how technology impacts upon life.
