I used to get a lot of rubber ducks on my birthdays as presents because, you know, I make rubber ducks. But then I get the ugliest ones with a neck, ugly colors, and devil ears. I don't like those.

I really hate rubber ducks, actually.

I've always said the rubber duck is a yellow catalyst.

In Holland, we have a saying: 'A knife cuts on two sides.' With the rubber duck, I'm trying to show people what they haven't been seeing in their public space. When the rubber duck is there and when it's gone, you know.

I think places that need the rubber duck the most are the ones in distress.

I make work a bit like how you mix cocktails - with ingredients like budget, history and location.
