Things to Note for Celebration of Fine Art

Tiffany Mulherin has chosen a medium of Polaroid type 669 to produce her Fine Art Photography.
Polaroid went out of business a few years ago, however there is a group (The Polaroid Project) still making certain types of Polaroid film, but not the kind that produces emulsion and image transfers.  A few years ago Tiffany bought a few cases of Polaroid type 669 film (about 100 boxes).  She still has plenty of boxes, but every piece of type 669 film in existence today is now expired.  She can still produce her beautiful art work, but the film is less reliable, and takes more film to produce her images.

One really cool fact is that they no longer sell this type of film for transfers, so this art show that Tiffany would be putting on, would be one of the last times anyone would ever see this type of art being done with Polaroid film (Fuji Film makes a similar product but it does not have the exact same outcome).  It would be like if the world somehow ran out of paint, and a painter bought a bunch of tubes of paint; and they were painting one of the last paintings that would ever be produced!!!!  This would be a very special show not only for Tiffany, but the art lovers that show up for the show.

Another great fact to note is, the overall process that it takes to produce the image and emulsion transfers. This process does not take a few hours to produce, it takes days of hard work, meaning that if someone showed up to the show one day, they might see Tiffany lifting the emulsion off the Polaroid, and if they showed up the next day she would be working on that same lifted transfer, but would be in a new step of the production. This means that for someone who may show up to the art show 5 days in a row, would see a new step of the process each and everyday.  This means a few great things for your art show…. One of a kind emulsion and image transfers, a real mix of steps, meaning a lot for viewers to watch and see, and most likely one of the last times EVER of watching someone produce art using this medium.
