"And then you find the stuff that is just uplifting and it's like a breath of fresh air." She giggles again. "It's like when you go to art college you've got a lot of rubbish inside of you that you want to get out, but then a lot of people's work you see and think, why are you doing that? Is it for your audience? Is it for you?' I think you want to think about the people that are receiving it as well. You want to give them a bit of a gift really".
(Simone Lia, 2007, in The Guardian)

"I have to say that it
was a nice time of year
to lose one's mind
(if you're the type who
notices the weather)
the days sometimes seemed too warm
and slightly nauseating
but the evenings were so cool around
the edges
you hardly noticed
how hollow they were on the inside."
