POST - POST POLAROIDS
30” x 40” in prints, glossy made from scans of polaroids
or 4” x 4” in polaroids mounted on white wood.
This work consists of a simple gesture to show the analog and chemistry in photography. They are made without a camera through pushing the polaroid chemistry around in the image in the dark. The works speak to the materiality that has been neglected in digital photography. The absent photographic referent leaves only those referents that the mind conjures. They are an homage to the Polaroid as a cultural trope. They are perhaps a photographic version of Jackson Pollocks comment on painting. Polaroids are social, and these Polaroids are not. Each one is unique, there is no edition.
