I have been searching for artists that are reaching into different media to make coherent work. This is the work of Patrick Winfield, he uses polaroids and contextualizes them in a grid to create new images and perspectives. This work is similar to that of David Hockney and reminiscent to cubism, defining 3 dimensions on 2 dimensional surface by compositing images. Winfield is traditionally a graphic designer, and he uses these sensibilities like layout, form while still maintaining other traditional aesthetics related to fine art. Also he does not qualify these works as collage, though much of what he is doing has the same practice, its unique in the way that with the polaroids are defined by their shape. (which ultimately defines the system, although the uniqueness of the work compared to similar work is the grid).
