Aged - Polaroid Series

There is something truly beautiful about how certain types of Polaroids change over time. It’s art that breathes, ages & grows with you.

With the positive/negative type Polaroids, you need to coat the positive side with a fixer after you peel them. After I saw the aging effects when you don’t coat & loved it, I started to pick & choose shots I wouldn’t coat. Just to see how they would age, years later.

This very special series is many years in the making. Patience, climate control, storage – all play a hand. Like making wine, or bourbon. Feels like some of my most important work I’ve ever made, even when these photos have been taken over the last 21 years, over many areas of the US.
