A small child sits in her bedroom with a hyper-realistic sloth and a peacock: Is this a nightmare or a pyjama party with welcome guests? This week we're discussing the weird (and according to Dad, not so wonderful) visual world of Australian artist Patricia Piccinini.

But will Dad see the works as witty or worrisome? See images here!
