VENUE 45 - Polly Bennett, 33 Rossie Place
Sculpture, Paintings, Sketches
Polly Bennett is an instinctual and experimental artist. The study of the natural world underpins all her work. She distills unconscious thought, blending dreams with substance. Working the seam where magic collides with the visible world, she explores the intensity and fragility of experience. This is the space where corporeality and spirit merge into something unknown but remembered. She works in the borderland between conscious and unconscious, between human and the other inhabitants of this world. The space she creates from leaves her acutely aware of how our unconscious disregard for our impact damages all of us and all life on earth. This reality demands her action. As an artist she wants to provide food for thought and feeling.
