The Show: Polaroid 600
Artist Statement:
This series of images reflects my love of experimenting. I have created a unique representation of the subject matter in a more abstract, surreal manner. To accomplish this I used Polaroids, a flatbed scanner and a computer. Nature, landscape and still life are my subject matter.
In creating my images I take the Polaroid, pull the backing off, rub off the white background and make scratches on the film. I then put the Polaroid in the scanner and scan the image into the computer. The image you see is what my flatbed scanner has interpreted. The only computer manipulations I have made are with levels, brightness and contrast and use of a rubber stamp tool. Though these images began as a static subject, I have made them dynamic and full of explosive energy in this process.
