Statement

Statement

“I distill unconscious thought, blending dreams with substance. Working the seam where magic collides with the visible world I explore the intensity and fragility of experience. This is the space where corporeality and spirit merge into something unknown but remembered.”

Polly Thelwall is an instinctive and experimental artist working in sculpture and drawing. The study of nature underpins all her work.  The space she creates from leaves her acutely aware of how our disregard for the natural world damages all of us.
