Polaroid

As a child of the 70s, I have a fondness for the curved edges of photographs that were prevalent during the era of the polaroid, which had its own aesthetic. In this work, I draw on the white framed and hard-edged compositional structure of polaroid prints and bring in a floating reference to the photographs of my childhood.
