Within and Without
Polly’s debut solo exhibition Within and Without presents a suite of eight 2019 works that quietly ask for your attention. The works demarcate space, absorb sound and activate different chromatic relationships within and without. These relationships are enhanced by light and shadow throughout the day, encouraging spacial awareness.
Within and Without is a term used in old English to mean ‘inside and outside’, although modern use of ‘without’ means ‘in absence of’ rather than the external. Within and Without exhibition explores the harmonies and tensions created between the inner and outer square, with intimate moments of absence creating a meditative visual experience.
