Photo Montage with Polaroids

The flowing images are of some Photo Montage with Polaroids that I have been playing with.

This one is a montage to my love of the Polaroid, specifically the SX-70.

I just liked this combination, and I thought this quote went well with the photograph.

This one is about travel, I have lots of photographs of this lady and all of the photographs are from a holiday she went on with her husband.

This one and quite a few of these are personal to me, this is a Polaroid of one of my X-rays and the writing is how we used to feel every time we went for yearly tests.

This one again is personal, the image is of a medical device that I used to have to wear called a Millwalkie Brace, it had buckles and screws that would hold it on me. I hated it and would struggle when mum put it on me eventually working out how to get out of it.
So I placed the text 'Why do you resist?"

Again a personal one and it is also about waiting for results. The image is of one of my MRI scans.

This is about working through things even when they are tough and finding your way.

This is about resisting giving up.

Well there is nothing much interesting behind this one, I just thought it looked dream like.


This next group are using words from a dictionary.

This is another personal one, the image is my Brace and the word is affix... and the brace was attached to me... affixed.

Another personal one. The image is one of my MRI and the word is affright... we were always frightened about what the MRI would reveal.

You guessed it... personal again. The image is my brace and the word is A-frame... the brace was my structure my frame...

Well this one is simple, a Polaroid and the word Polaroid.

Now this one is challenging ones perception and understanding of things, the image is a car and I am telling you that its an Aeroplane, and who are you to challenge what I am telling you...


This next group of images is just some old photos or images placed on some abstract Polaroids.

I love the combination of the black and white photo and the brown abstract shapes in the background.

Again the combination of the black and white photo of the little boy and the brown abstract shapes in the background. I also like the Y shape in the background and that he is standing in a shape of an upside down Y.

Well what can I say about this one... I think it need a bit of an explanation. Firstly this image is from the Move The Exorcist. I needed a colour image to put over this Polaroid because it is black and white itself and the black and white children photographs did not look right.

So this one is a little disturbing but I like it.....



These artworks were inspired by an artist I found on Flicker... Kerry Ball, she is an American based artist and her work is awesome I suggest you go have a look at her work.
