Huggins discovered the Polaroid transfer process in the early 1990s, developing his own techniques before hitting the road alone across the American landscape. The evolution from single 3½ x 4½ inch transfers to enlarged grids allowed him to express time, movement, and evolution across a cinematic field. The exhibition is anchored by County Line #16, a massive grid of seventy-seven individual transfers capturing the ocean's indigo water as sets roll in — geometry of waves, figures paddling out. Nostalgic, narrative, and iconic, the images feel both timeless and current.
