Alchemy Polaroid Series

Vintage unexposed SX-70 films transformed

In his current series “Alchemy” Robert is working with long expired SX-70 films from the 1980’s and 90’s that are no longer capable of producing any photographic images with a camera. Through a process of chemical & physical manipulation the final results are unpredictable abstract images, reminiscent of the impressionistic, colour field and printmaking movements. The Polaroid has a long history of how we record ourselves, our friends, family vacation travels. This film has been saved from landfill and has become an artifact of a new way of being seen. Each Polaroid is unique like a fingerprint.
