Polly White (b.1998) is a photographic artist based between Bristol and West Wales. Growing up in rural Wales has instilled in her a distinct curiosity in the human connection to nature and the land, in particular within history and folklore. Her image-making is fundamentally fuelled by the past, as she works in pursuit of a narrative that holds us and the landscape with both tenderness and tension. She is currently studying an MA in Fine Art Photography at the University of the West of England, Bristol.
