“Ali Hval’s surreal sculptures combine the accoutrements of B.D.S.M. with Barbie Dreamhouse décor… Hval’s bejewelled pieces strike a savvy balance of sugar and spice, forgoing the nice.”

- Johanna Fateman, The New Yorker

“Innocence and playfulness are balanced with hints of sensuality.”

- Annabel Keenan, CultBytes
