'At least three distinct aspects of Karen Ansel’s diverse career are countenanced in this recollection which details, firstly, her forays into the fashion world in late ’70s Melbourne; her time playing keyboards with The Reels, which, amongst other things, brought her into contact with Michael Hutchence and INXS; and her presence at the conception of, and later involvement with, the costume design for Dogs in Space. Her account includes anecdotes and observations concerning the processes and ethics in place during the making of the film. Ansel also discusses the absence—and slow emergence—of women in the punk scene, and her own extensive and focused pursuit of creative endeavour as she sought and found a place in the nascent digital effects industry.'
