Polly Kelsall: Building an Ecosystem from Scratch

Date: Saturday, Jun 23 2018 - Sunday, Jul 8 2018
Venue: Test Space
Artists
Polly Kelsall

Exhibition exploring what an ecosystem can be: an interconnected system of ideas, materials, images and objects. It is a continuation of Polly Kelsall’s evolving process where she combines and adapts existing works with new objects, materials and images to create new associations.

Geology meets DIY materials, found objects intermingle with handmade creations, natural materials merge with modern day detritus. Combining these materials and processes results in an abundance of individual objects, each leading into further objects to create a new community or ecosystem that is flexible, adaptive and fragile.

Polly Kelsall is a Bristol-based artist whose work combines images, materials and objects which are continually adapting and evolving to create new narratives. Her ideas, thoughts and concerns explore the possible tensions and balances between human activities and natural processes, permanence and the temporary, and the relationship between the built and natural environment.
