'Mary’s talk was inspiring and uplifting. The background, research and journey that she went through to create the work is fascinating, and she speaks with authority and knowledge of every part of the creative process and the technicalities of the piece, with a manner that is enchanting, makes you feel like she’s speaking to you alone and an enthusiasm about the work that is infectious.' - Helen Cundy, Director.
