Polly Morgan, Endless Plains Exhibit, All Visual Arts Gallery, London UK

“Endless Plains interprets this vast expanse of land, at once barren and teeming with life, in perverted and unusual ways.  The result is an unflinching portrait of the savagery of nature, where the sacrifice of one life for dozens more is a vital and constant exchange. […] Circumventing the ‘traditional’ trophy taxidermy that sought to animate the subject, Morgan avoids anthropomorphosis and instead meditates on the significance of the departure of life in her work.  Endless Plains is a meditation on death as a process - both hierarchy and commodity, as parasites become hosts, maintaining balance through bloodshed.”
