Published to accompany an exhibition at MK Gallery, this is the
first major survey of the work of contemporary British artist and
photographer Ingrid Pollard, nominated for the Turner Prize 2022.
This publication provides the first overview of works by British
artist and photographer Ingrid Pollard. Pollard is renowned for
using portrait and landscape photography to question our
relationship with the natural world and to interrogate social
constructs such as Britishness, race, sexuality and identity.
Working across a variety of techniques from photography,
printmaking, drawing and installation to artists' books, video and
audio, Pollard combines meticulous research and experimental
processes to make art that is at once deeply personal and socially
resonant. '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 this
publication - 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.' - Gilane Tawadros, Curator, writer and CEO,
DACS 'Ingrid Pollard's work slows down our looking to create space
to consider alternative formations of history and landscape. Across
four decades she has re-scripted Britishness, looking back in order
that we might move forward differently. This is a profound and
timely exploration of this vital British artist.' - Maria Balshaw,
Director, Tate This book accompanies an exhibition at MK Gallery
and Turner Contemporary, curated by Gilane Tawadros, with the

Blanchard and Anthony Spira. Essays by Anna Arabindan-Kesson,
Cheryl Finley, Paul Gilroy, Mason Leaver-Yap and Gilane Tawadros.
