"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."
"Odile and Odette" (2005)

"Theatricality is central to my work. I use theatrical devices because I want people to enter a different world, a fantasy world. For me that’s what art is. It’s that world you can enter that’s different from your regular, everyday world."
-Yinka Shonibare MBE
