Emily Hartley-Skudder's third solo exhibition with Jonathan Smart Gallery takes its name from the song and album Germfree Adolescents by British punk band X-Ray Spex. Front woman Poly Styrene became an icon for modern-day feminist punk and was known for her synthetic dayglo wardrobe. While scrubbing her teeth on national television, she explained; "I chose the name Poly Styrene because it's a lightweight, disposable product". Other song titles on the album include: Art-I-Ficial, Plastic Bag, I am a Cliché, Highly Inflammable, Warrior in Woolworths and The Day the World Turned Dayglo.

The album Germfree Adolescents was written by Poly Styrene, and recorded and released in 1978.
