Ingrid Pollard Postcards

Description

A set of 5 postcards of designs selected by Ingrid Pollard to become a postcard set as part of her 2021 No Cover Up Exhibition in GWL. The images were originally developed by the Lenthall Road Workshop Collective where Ingrid was an active member.

Ingrid Pollard uses different photographic processes alongside printmaking, artist books, installation, video and audio to shed new light on important subjects. Following a residency in 2019 her solo exhibition, No Cover Up, revealed her responses to the materials held in the Lesbian archive at Glasgow Women’s Library.
