"Be always restless, unsatisfied, unconforming. Whenever a habit becomes convenient, smash it! The greatest sin of all is satisfaction" Nikos Kazantzakis
​
"Her eye for seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary is both acute and severe. Her attention for minutia often turns the subject upside in revealing an otherwise hidden agenda. She has an urgency in her work that demands attention. It is stark, immediate but above all, honest." - Richard Pinder
