    Digital Photos Of Polaroid Emulsion Lifts On Watercolour And Cotton Rag Paper

A photographic skin, with all its imperfections, reproducing the body's skin. The emulsion lift process is ideally suited to photos of the nude body. Although based on digital files, the quirks of Polaroid's instant chemistry, mixed with the accidents of the printing process - the serendipity of the film sticking to paper, producing textures that add volume and depth - create genuinely unique images.
