Wendy Cook is a multi media artist living and working in lower Manhattan. Wendy explains that as a result of the trauma she experienced on 9/11/01, she found she had difficulty painting. To remain creative, she began exploring Polaroid SX-70 manipulation.
Wendy says:
I like the immediacy and the mystery of this medium. There is a small window of time in which to work before the emulsion hardens. I never really know exactly what I'm going to get once I start smearing, but in the end, I am left sitting on the sidewalk with a palm-sized painting.
Wendy prints her images on 30x30" canvas to enhance their painterly qualities. She feels that the result defies definition as it is both painting and photograph.
