Collection: Gillian Pokalo

Gillian Pokalo grew up in Conshohocken, exploring factory relics along the Schuylkill River. That interest in the ever-changing landscape has continued into her adult life. Pokalo's work is influenced by the sociological shift in the communities that were originally built around industry and the remnants of places that no longer exist. She photograph buildings that are in some way imperfect, or have a humble, almost forgotten quality. Through the repetition of the printed image, these structures create an implied narrative and a metaphor for the human condition.

Gillian Pokalo creates monoprints using a combination of painting, photography, and printmaking techniques. The process of making a print has always intrigued her: not only because of the immediacy of the medium, but also because it is that which remains when the plate or screen is removed. In this way, her creative process is a meditation on the transient nature of reality.
