'Carbon Slowly Turning', MK Gallery
2022
'Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning' is the first major survey of Pollard’s career showing highlights of work from the past 40 years as well as debuting exciting new work.

'Gilane Tawadros, co-curator of the exhibition, said: “Ingrid Pollard’s practice has long been focused on the human body, astro-physics and geology, and in particular geology in the formation of the stars and planets. The title of the exhibition – Carbon Slowly Turning – invites us to reflect on geological time in relation to human time. On the one hand the millennia in which carbon, rock and other natural materials are made, and on the other the brevity of human existence by comparison and the affecting nature of geology on the human form. A number of Pollard’s works reflect on the cyclical nature of history and human experience, where everything is subject to change, sometimes over hundreds or thousands of years, at other times in the blink of an eye.”' – MK Gallery
