My obsession with Polaroids started the first time I held an XS-70 camera and watched the first shot spit out. I got the idea for the piece "Intermission" back in 1984 and the piece was finished and displayed for the first time in 1994. Between the cost of the film (a buck a shot!) and time it took to gather "The Ends" from old movies, it took me 10 years from conception to finished piece! Sadly now with the demise of the SX-70, Polaroid cameras and film this piece takes on a new meaning. "Intermission" consists of 7 "panels" of Polaroid pictures. Each panel has 70 pictures, for a total of 490 Polaroid pictures from an SX 70 camera. The other works I have included take Polaroids that are rejects, scribbled on and scratched into combined to make small tapestries. I do feel like I "painted" with Polaroids.
