I wanted to bring characters I had personally created into reality.  The idea behind creating such realistic sculptures instead of something representational was the idea of invasion of the imaginary on realty. I wanted people to see what it would be like if imaginary creatures were to physically exist in real life in a way they could actually touch and enjoy. This is meant to rekindle the mentality when we as children used to play by our imaginations with such ease and gusto.
