    "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."
