The colored emulsion of the Polaroid Time-Zero film is soft at first, almost the consistency of wet paint. With the aid of a magnifier and fine styluses, I physically manipulate the layers of this soft emulsion to achieve painterly textures and lines. NO PAINT, FILTERS, OR COMPUTERS ARE USED TO ACHIEVE THESE EFFECTS. Next, I re-photograph the small Polaroid with a 4 x 5 camera and enlarge the image, which further enhances its textural qualities and scale. I personally print these enlargements myself in signed and numbered limited editions of 250 prints per image with artist proofs.
