Heather Polley
Artist Statement
Art history often inspires my work. The still lifes from the series Vanitas are descendants of Dutch painting, with a personal twist. I am a film-based, darkroom-based photographer, best known for alternative-process prints, but I have also recently fallen in love with SX-70 Polaroid.
