From the artist: "Since 1999 I have been making photographs using the large format x0 x 24-inch Polaroid camers. This past June I visited the Wexner Center at Ohio State University and discovered two copies of the book Found Polaroids in the Wexner's bookstore. It seemed to be an extraordinarily appropriate volume for me to work with and I subsequently ordered ten more copies to make the edition of 10, an artists' proof to be given to the publisher, and a last, intact, copy for my library."

Together with a copy of an unaltered copy, 2006.
