  "Together, Ziegler's series of totems, towers and wall pieces communicate by means of an evolving vocabulary of shapes, informed by the historian's sense of modernist formalism, but also imbued with a sense of postmodern irony that is very much of the present day.

"...the cheerfully stacked composition of Harlequin's Carnival seems arrested in time, on the point of collapse. While this 'potential for movement' in static pieces relates her work to a long lineage of modernist minimalism, their surfaces demand a closer look. " Linda Brown, Ceramics Monthly
