‘For me the more important thing was making them black in colour, a black that seems to absorb light. I think these larger figures are more disturbing, or at least uncertain, than the smaller ones. With the smaller camouflaged ones in the curtain, you don’t know if they are hiding so they will not be eaten, or waiting to pounce, or are they friends: but then of course they are all friends, because they are teddies.’
