destruction of form — Shari Wilkins

This body of work was inspired by the vernacular photography that I collect. By incorporating my obsession with found photos and combining it with alternative processes I strive to understand objective reality. Motivated by the collected imagery I find, along with detailed family documents, photographs, x-rays and ephemera I combine vernacular photography with new instant photography images creating Polaroid, large-scale photograms and photo booth work. In some cases, I then alter these images by playing with scale.
