16 x 20 inches (24 x 27.5 inches framed)
Edition of 20, 3 APs
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Jessica Eaton uses a wide array of experimental, analogue-based photographic techniques such as colour separation filters, multiple exposures, dark slides, and in-camera masking. Eaton builds images on sheets of 4×5 film that address the fundamental properties of photography such as light, chance, duration, illusion, and spatial relations. In discussing her work, Eaton has explained, “I often set up parameters for phenomena to express themselves. In the best cases I push things so that the response comes in ways that I could not have thought up until I was shown it on film. Once you get to see or experience something, you can use it. Then you can use it to see something else.”
