    "Stunning. What could have been cheap sensationalism in lesser hands was made profound, uncomfortable and uncompromising here."
    Martin O'Brien (on previous work)
    "Pailing’s style is surreal and subject to extreme flights of fancy but keeps its feet on the ground at all times. A name that you’ll definitely be hearing again in the future."

    “It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
