"They're all women that have really inspired me growing up [..]. Growing up in Northern England is a fairly bleak, dour, gritty, horrible place. And this was my escapism. My father would take me to see all the movies, we would listen to all the music. [..] All the women I've chosen, they're all fairly strong women. [..] Even Marilyn set up her own studio because she hated the role she was being given. So they're all a nod to the modern-day woman."

Russell Young in an interview for Heather James Gallery, YouTube, May 2020, quoted from: www.youtu.be/EsVHYhV_uP8.
