Polly Borland
Polly Borland (b.1959, Melbourne) made her name in the 1980s and '90s in editorial and portrait photography. Since 2001 Borland has concentrated her practice on extensive photographic series which explore perceptions of beauty and difference through outsider subjects, concealed sitters, props, lighting and illusion to create abstracted, hybrid human forms.
