DescriptionCarey breaks from the restraints of the 20" x 24" Polaroid Land camera by letting the dye and color run free as she pulls each color through the camera's internal rollers. Color positive prints are created by enlarging the color negative onto a positive color paper. Carey controls each color by modifying amounts of light by inserting yellow, magenta or cyan filters. After a print is pulled through the camera, Carey removes the negative backing and allows the dyes to dry. Carey's remarkable intuition in the darkroom enables her to work by trial and error, yielding a beautiful depiction not of an object but of pure light.On View
