Matthew Houston - Maria - unique 10x8" Polaroid

Unique 10x8" Polaroid Not mounted Signed on the back. The accompanying provenance paper is also signed and carries the studio stamp. In clear mylar museum quality protective sleeve. Extremely fine condition Shipped flat with rigid protection by registered mail. Matthew Houston (London 1961) best known for the Catalogue of Chaos series - an in depth exploration of the materials and processes of photography. "While running a Cabaret on a sailing ship moored in the London docks he began making portraits using the small stage. First with friends and then actors, models and dancers. Many were made with large format cameras using sheet film and Polaroid." ".....using Polaroid film gave the material a chance to be part of the picture as well. Polaroid is known for all kinds of quirks and accidents that are a reminder of process. As with other photographs I've made I feel it important that material and process are still included, still evident.”* *From interview - Saatch Art
