​Simon’s work has the power to transform loose associations into an experience that only something as ubiquitous as a humble floor covering could render. An exquisite example of art’s transformative power. The fusing of memory and material. Simon’s work provides us with clues; clues to our relationship with the past, our culture and our identity.  It’s a testimony to the creative force of Simon Ogden’s work that something as familiar, something as modest as lino should have the potential to liberate involuntary memory.  It is nothing short of wonderful. Literally.  --- Graham Crowley, I don't Like Art  (2015)
