Polaroid Transfer Art

Lewis Carroll was a master storyteller, a weaver of fantasy, and a highly complicated man. His fairytales and poems are part childhood innocence, part creative genius and, at the same time, shaded with the darkness that we are too afraid to explore. The images contained in this body of work use the writings of Lewis Carroll as a literary metaphor. They are not representational, rather - they are questions of where that border exists between the artistic, the disturbed and genius. As with Carroll's writings, the images of "In Search of the Jabberwock" are a bit of whimsy combined with the shadow of human existence. In the words of Alice: "Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas – only I don't exactly know what they are!"

The images themselves are a combination of various media: 8x10 Polaroid emulsion transfers, computer manipulation, Xerox transfers, and oil glazing – created on a steel panel.
