From the 'Images of Greece' series which included four prints: 'Athens', 'Lindos', 'Mycenae' and 'Yapa'.

Polly Hope split her time between studios in Spitalfields and the Island of Rhodes in Greece. Bryan Robertson wrote “These photo-montages or collages…are autobiographical in the sense that the images come directly from the numbers of photographs taken by the artist wherever she finds herself, using the camera as an economical equivalent to a drawing pad or notebook…The motifs are not conventional ‘views’ or vignettes but scenes and situations sliced up, edited, re-composed and structured to achieve the edgiest results.”
