It is Poliness’s specific intention to reclaim the meaning of abstraction and make it available for contemporary use … In the very materiality of her work, the simplicity of its production and its frequent invocation of the decorative, Poliness refuses the inert ideology of ‘high art’ and the mystification of abstraction as esoteric or hermetic.1
