Thought provoking work. M Miller, Curator Youth Programmes, Tate Britain (Lost and found, London)

One can marvel at the scale and ‘vision’ of the project or be seduced by colour.

G Powell, artist, illustrator, educator, (Precious in thy Sight, Sheffield)
The beauty of this work is that it defies labels, obstinately refuses to be catagorised too easily, flying in the face of commercial concerns quite joyously. J Hassal, illustrator, educator, (Lost and Found, London)
