These observations werefirst recorded through drawing, whichquickly led to painting, and the sculpture.However, photography has received themajority of my efforts.”Work by Brian KelleyKelley enjoys working in manyprocesses of photography such as: silvergelatin, gum dichromate, cyanotypes,hand tinting, digital and Polaroid transfers.Being a student of art most of hislife has trained his eye, giving him theconfidence to trust his instincts. With sensitivityto light and texture, Kelley’s workappreciates the classic and respects thecontemporary both in process and subjectmatter. The images he produces documentmoments in time, with a cross betweenfine art and documentary perspectives.This exhibit will display Kelley’s explorationof the Polaroid transfer process.Transfers are created through an unorthodoxuse of the film. These images weremade with Polaroid film type 669. ThePolaroid is exposed through the use of acolor slide and enlarging printer. The processof Polaroid transfers consists of twoparts, the image transfer and the emulsiontransfer.The image transfer involves removingthe exposed negative from the undevelopedpositive. The negative image side isthen placed onto a chosen surface (paper,canvas, glass, wood, etc.) with pressingmotion. The backing is then carefullyremoved from the surface leaving a positiveimage.Emulsion transfers are created by usinga fully developed Polaroid positive. Thephotograph is immersed into hot water untilthe surface begins to blister. The imageis then removed into cold water, where thethin gelatinous surface is removed fromthe paper backing. The image layer isthen cleaned and transferred to the chosensurface. During this step, the image canbe distorted through stretching, tearing,321Lenoir64MorgantonShelby18181864321421I-402861874N.
