I've always said the rubber duck is a yellow catalyst.
I love it when people travel to see one of my works, and I always make time to meet and talk with them.
I make work a bit like how you mix cocktails - with ingredients like budget, history and location.
I really hate rubber ducks, actually.
I think places that need the rubber duck the most are the ones in distress.
