Piece description from the artist
This is an image of a Polaroid emulsion lift. To create this piece, I photographed the roses using slide film. Next, I used a 'Daylab' printer to print my slide image onto Polaroid film. Once the Polaroid film was developed, I floated it on very hot water — this step helps separate the rose image from its paper base. At this point, the film was very viscous which is when I carefully transferred it onto fine art paper. I then used a delicate, wet paintbrush to shape the over all image. I also added creases and wrinkles to create this romantic and dreamy piece.
