Elizabeth DeMayo: Polaroid Revisions

Ceres Gallery is pleased to present Polaroid Revisions, an exhibition of enlarged Polaroid photographs by Liz DeMayo. These photos started as small images taken with a Polaroid camera, or transferred onto Polaroid film from a phone camera. DeMayo physically manipulates her photos, changing the look of the surfaces, aiming to add movement and a little mystery to the images, and sometimes to allow a face or figure to emerge from the trees or plants pictured. Polaroid Revisions includes three groupings of photographs enlarged onto paper, and two sets of canvases with the images enlarged to 30 inches. The subjects of the work are trees, plants, and aquatic scenes taken in DeMayo’s city neighborhood, near friends’ houses, and at various gardens in New York state.
