The poppy is the enduring symbol of the First World War, an object that embodies a hundred years of attitudes towards the world's first great conflict. Yet the flower's association with warfare pre-dates 1914 and its legacy continues today. An intensely powerful object, it has been appropriated by many, employed to justify war and to highlight its futility.All objects have a biography and the poppy's is one as galant as any from the war. Yet as we enter a world dominated by social media and 24hr news broadcasts,the poppy is again becoming politicised, publicised,diminished and reified.
