"when you see a masterpiece it makes you feel things that you can’t shake off easily – they’re like powerful a drug. these things touch you in a way you can’t be touched again… it’s like being an aesthetic virgin!"
    "DB: do you have a motto?

Gives more attention to Grierson, who was Oliver's partner in 23 Envelope through 1987.

"They were impressed by the American photographer Ralph Gibson, whose trilogy of books, The Somnambulist, Déjà-vu and Days at Sea, uses wordless sequences of black and white pictures of enigmatic fragments of bodies, buildings and figures in the landscape to evoke the logic of dreams. Other significant joint early enthusiasms were the British painter Francis Bacon and the American optician turned photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard, a master manipulator of photographic blurring, who created uncanny atmospheres in his portraits of family and friends in Kentucky."
    "Their liquescent early covers for the Cocteau Twins, shot in a tank by Grierson, were prompted by a scene towards the end of Andrei Tarkovsky’s visionary film Stalker, where the camera looks down at a shallow pool in a flooded room deep inside the mysterious Zone and two fishes swim across broken tiles as the water darkens with ominous black fluid."
