Curator Simon Gregg stated, "Often the works will speak of the future without implicitly describing anything that is futuristic. While at the same time the suggest a distant past, tinged with the faint melancholic wisp of nostalgia. Which heralds one of Lloyd's great contradictions and enduring points of interest: his works are insistently of the here and now- placing us squarely in the present moment of experience- but speak of time immemorial; of all time".<ref>Gregg, S: ''Tony Lloyd.
