Having photographed Polly Morgan for The Independent Magazine at her studio in Hackney Wick I thought it only right and proper to see her current show. Endless Plains is at All Visual Arts, 2 Omega Place, Kings Cross until 31st July. Inspired by a trip to the Serengeti Polly produces a collection of work that is powerful, raw, poetic and reflective of nature's cruel cycle.

There is a twist where dark thoughts extend this metaphor to bats inhabiting a stag's carcass and plump piglets feeding off the sap of a tree trunk. The point is that we know almost everything there is to know scientifically about nature and animal's life cycle but the inner mind of an animal is a mystery.

Although the showstoppers are the stag and the feeding piglets the portraits of birds drawn with their ashes are poignant and simply quite beautiful.
Go see if you can.
