Ingrid Pollard: Postcards Home
Questioning social constructs such as Britishness, the notion of home and belonging
Product Description
Ingrid Pollard has defined her work as ‘a social practice concerned with representation, history and landscape with reference to race, difference and the materiality of lens-based media’, often questioning social constructs such as Britishness, or the notion of home and belonging.
Steeped in an ambiguous heritage of Wordsworth and the Romantic Poets, her photography has explored the beauty of the English landscape and coastline, alongside the memories hidden within Britain's history and its relationship to Africa and the Caribbean. Her interest in the layers of history is echoed in the accomplished use of 19th century photographic techniques.
Several of the artist's projects are brought together in this monograph, each with a text by Gregory sharing her thoughts and process behind the work.
