'All sorts of objects and activities appear on the hats, and I am often not quite sure if the wearers are aware of them....I came to feel eventually that the hats have taken on a sort of life of their own. Some of them are clearly waving; I hope that one or two may even be waving at you.' (Quentin Blake, Quentin Blake: The World of Hats, exh.cat., Jerwood Gallery, 2019, n.p.)
