The Los Angeles-based artist Edward Cushenberry uses the format of the polaroid to explore the people and places that make him who he is. But, he doesn't do so in the 'traditional' way - he draws them. Choosing coloured pencils and inks over photography, Edward's pieces are still framed and captured like photo. Figures - often loosely based on Edwards friends - are candid and seemingly capture in motion, these images are then made dynamic and animated with the slivers of dialogue offered as hand-drawn captions.

"We are analog creatures, built to connect through our senses but the more we lose ourselves in digital algorithms, the more we drift away from empathy and real connection."
