Polaroid Transfers
The Polaroid Transfer technique produces an image similar in appearance to a watercolor painting. This infuses the
photographs with a warm timelessness that evokes a
dream-like quality.
The Polaroid Transfer images are produced by projecting a
slide onto the Polaroid pull-apart film using a slide printer or camera, separating the
underdeveloped Polaroid peel-apart print, pressing the
negative onto a damp sheet of watercolor paper, or other
absorbent surface, to transfer the print dyes into the
surface,
and then peeling away and discarding the
negative.
Emulsion Lifts
The Emulsion Lift has a translucent and fluid quality
that seems to move on the page. The ability to manipulate so freely produces an image that can be stretched and wrinkled
even transferred to 3-D objects.
Emulsion lifts are created by lifting the image from a
Polaroid print that has already been fully developed and
dried, then transferring that emulsion onto another
material. Lifts can be transferred to most any surface.
