‘Becky’s work is a bittersweet anthem to the Seventies, glam, rock music, religious dogma, and being female amongst the artists’ (Nick’s Gift)
‘Becky sees the world and everyday life, but she also sees the stars, the cosmos, the heavens’ (Robert Garnham)

‘Dusk, Sunday gloom.
At home, tin pan artifice
falls like dust and
settles in my throat.
Mother, for all her foresight
and minor goddess status,
cannot predict the calamity
that will fall upon the house.
The gods that dwell within
the courtyard dares not
say his name and
Little Zeus, sitting at his desk,
is oblivious to the sacrifice
upon the step.
Crushed quartz, crystal, lurex thread
Gathered together, strung up above
the door frame; within the music of the spheres’
(From Nick’s Gift)
