Caroline Hancox - Fringes

These are some Polaroid Emulsion Lifts from a recent project exploring what happens in parts of the landscape where nature is creeping back into areas that have been destroyed/built on/neglected by humans.

I love areas of landscape that on first glance are not immediately beautiful but on closer inspection reveal a previously hidden attraction.

I used Polaroid Film for these images because I like the unpredictable nature the medium, in that every pack of film could have a different hue or slight imperfections.

These characteristics have been exaggerated by the Polaroid Emulsion Lift process (removal of the emulsion membrane from the backing paper and transferred onto a different surface where it can be manipulated and moved about) and the delicateness of the end result mirrors the scenes in the images.
