This work is part of a series of photographs done with a technique known as Polaroid Transfer. A polaroid is exposed and peeled apart prematurely. It is then immediately placed against wet watercolor paper and the dyes are transferred to the paper. This gives the photo a unique, painterly feel. By varying the development and transfer times, the images can become more and more abstract. The original photos were captured with 8 X 10 polaroid film. As these dyes are not very stable and will fade in a relatively short time, the transfers are scanned and printed archivally using 100% cotton rag paper and stable pigmented inks. Artist printed and signed limited edition.

I was born in Germany and moved around quite a lot as a child. I now work and reside in the U.S. I remember taking my first photograph at six years old, (a blurry photo of my mom's Volkswagen beetle door handle) and I was hooked. Since then I've loved photography, art and design, and how they all come together to portray a little ethereal slice of time in a permanent, viewable medium. I especially love to work with alternative photographic processes and how these sometimes-serendipitous procedures add extra visual dimensions to the images. The little stories that they convey are quite beautiful, even the controversial narratives. My works deal mainly with the human condition and also the simple beauty of nature. The emotions that they evoke within me can be quite varied, and I love it when the viewer experiences their own response based on their unique life's experiences. In many instances, we learn that humanity does indeed share a common bond.
