Back in the ’70s Polaroid gave SX-70s to artists to see what they could do with the camera and the process.

I had an SX-70, was in art school and learned about Samaras’ work and tried it myself. I was interested in African masks at the time as well as Robert Ferris Thompsons’ book Flash of the Spirit, which led me to the above.
