“ The performance artists behind Sacred Sadism, a new line of 'eco-fetish' sex toys, are changing BDSM's archetypal studded leather aesthetic.”

by Sam Stone for Men’s Health

“The thing that has become the most apparent for me over these years is that kink and fetish really needs to be something that challenges the dominant paradigm.”

by Anna Spitneva for Glamcult

“Ultimately, Sacred Sadism try and give people the opportunity to create their own worlds and feel free to play—something that we all too often forget to do.”

by Tatum Dooley for Slutever

“I’m not exaggerating when I say that the Sacred Sadism orchid butt plug—one of the newer tools in the collection—is the prettiest sex toy I have ever seen.”

by BJ Panda Bear for Flaunt Magazine

“Though the concept of plants being used as sex tools can present an unsettling feeling at first. However, what should come more naturally to us than nature itself?”

Transcribed from interview with Zing Tsjeng for “My First Time” podcast

“My ecofetishist work with Sacred Sadism is more about embodying an experience with another consenting, sentient human being.”

by Themba Alleyne for Subvrt

“Through helping to create new ways of connecting to kink for others I have found a place that feels like home. It has helped me to find others in this world of kink that are seeking something different than the mainstream view of BDSM.”

by Loney Abrams for Artspace

“But for the artist, these photographs aren't the "meat" of the work. Instead, the negotiations, conversations, and relationships that made the photoshoot possible are what fascinates Belleveau.”

by Ashley Chang for Cuntemporary

“Their work takes up what scholars Catriona Mortimer-Sandilands and Bruce Erickson identify as the critical project of “queer ecology”—“challenging hetero-ecologies from the perspective of non-normative sexual and gender positions””
