Her works explore the history of painting in subtle ways, while also displaying an impressive balance between conceptual clarity and material impenetrability." - 2008 Nathalie Djurberg, Sverige, för
"her animated film New Movements in Fashion, which superimposes the style-worlds of painting and fashion in a completely unique manner. With razor-sharp imagination and grotesque comedy, Djurberg conjures up the dark undertow of contemporary visual culture." - 2006 Sirous Namazi, Sverige, för
