In 1973, Sheridan found a Haloid Xerox darkroom unit in a U.S. government store for recycled office supplies (a). Because the unit was unuseable without its three other modules, Xerox engineer Ed Kobs procured a lens, processor and fuser for Sheridan. She would primarily use the Haloid to produce portraits on Arches paper. The richness of the greys in the portraits (often solarized) gave them the look of a drawing (b), and she would sometime enhance them with charcoal. The process also allowed her to increase the double exposure effects within a single image (c).
