Photographer Naomi James wanted to record her experience photographically whilst making use of what she had. James had numerous Polaroid images that she had taken in the months beforehand- images that represented scenes from her everyday life. She chose to record her experience by placing these Polaroid images in cleaning solutions and removing a few of them each time a restriction was lifted.
