Artist statement
Polly Hosp%u2019s practice is built on a deep connection with the fragile natural world and a passion for the environment. She captures unique wildlife moments with a focus on animal behaviour and story-telling. Building on memories of the Kent countryside, plus over a decade living in the heart of the African bush, Polly%u2019s aim is to engage the viewer in big conservation issues through simple joyful imagery. Drawing is at the heart of Polly%u2019s practice, and printmaking is how she brings her artwork to life. Her pieces emerge through the layering of process, where texture and tone transport the viewer to a new place. The line is integral, but the process is all about expression. Polly says: %u2018My works are a window on a world that is at peace with itself ... where elephants roam freely, and birds dance to the rhythm of the wind%u2019Polly Hosp is a regular finalist in the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year competition, and Society of Wildlife Artists %u2018The Natural Eye%u2019 annual exhibition.
