Instant Gratification by Michael Espinoza

A 68-image collection of works spanning 2022-2026, Instant Gratification is the highly anticipated inaugural publication of Espinoza's Polaroid and embroidery works.

Espinoza slowly hand-copies Polaroids with cross-stitch embroidery to show care for the ephemeral memories cast onto the surface of the instant photo. Subjects in this work are the artist’s lovers, friends, haunted places and intimacies in the studio, bedroom, beach, and beyond.
