'Consider the Dark and the Light', Chateau de Sacy
2015
'Like a camera obscura Pollard’s time spent at the Chateau de Sacy has generated reflections and inversions of experience, representation and vision. Inspired by the pastoral scenes depicted in the 18th century, French Toile de Jouy wallpaper Pollard presents us with a modern day wallpaper, where the fishing rods become chainsaws. She reflects the almost fairytale like classical imagery of the Toile de Jouy and presents us with the realities of country life and toil. Like a Claude lens isolating salient features in a landscape, abstracting the subject from its surroundings,
the formal portraits of the garden volunteers at the Chateau evoke the lived realities in the pastoral scenes of the Toile de Jouy. The formality of the volunteers’ poses reflects the formal and wild nature of the land on which they work.' - Ella S. Mills, text extract from catalogue 2015
