The Polaroid collage portfolio is a large body of work made between the late 1970's and mid 1990's, supported by a series of Artist's Grants from the Polaroid Corporation. Early work was made with the SX-70 format, later work with the Polaroid 20 x 24 camera, and 4x5 view camera. At least two millenia of art history are the source for representations of male and female figures, now repositioned with the intent to comment on traditional and contemporary societal expectations of the relationships between men and women. A selection of this work was included in The Polaroid Collection in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Technical Note: All photographs are straightforward camera images taken of collages and assemblages made for the purpose. Copyright © Ellen Land-Weber 1975-2019.
