Bill Henson Quotes
I have always found the suburbs very beautiful – the light, the change of seasons and so on. I am not so interested in the political dimensions of these things.

I felt it was like a dreamscape and once I understood that was how I needed to approach it the dream started to expand in unusual ways.
