"Boky Hackel-Ward’s sculpture is a will for power in action, a form that occupies a space, a structure, a universal means of communication, in which gold is the auctores, a citation of a divine component, aimed at expressing a spiritual tension, in which words become prerequisites for formal and conceptual investigations on the subject of identity. The Logos becomes figurative poetry, lyrically expressed with sculptures against gender biases and the differences between the female and the masculine components in art while exploring the origins of intuition."

"Boky Hackel-Ward is a restorer, painter, musician, performer and photographer who trained in Florence where she breathed, lived and absorbed the "grammar" of the Renaissance, always passionate about poetry, fascinated by the sound of words, with these sculptures she shows a surprising artistic maturity in her ability to conjugate poetry and figuration, introducing words, letters in which she finds her autonomous and recognisable linguistic code.“
Jacqueline Ceresoli, art critic


"Blake (Ward) and Boky share the body as a material extension, a fragment, mortified on the net in the digital age. We are nothing but a sum of destinies without an identity, in an infinitude of places."
Mathew Petley-Jones Gallery, Vancouver
