Jessica Eaton

Jessica Eaton is a photographer who uses analog processes to create these sort of what look like layered dimensional objects. It's crazy because they look like something that was created on a screen in some sort of software program. But they're these sharp really defined layered objects that she's manipulated all in camera. She uses various filters and long exposure techniques, different lenses, old processes from dusty kodak manuals etc. to create these images that otherwise could not be seen by the normal eye. That makes them very unique in a way, but also very difficult to talk about, so she falls back on her process a lot.

The way she uses color is astounding and mesmerizing. Her cubes are a nod to the likes of Sol Lewitt, Donald Judd, and Josef Albers. She uses a color process which is called the perceptual additive system which basically overlaps colors until they become brighter and brighter like how you would see on a computer screen or a TV.  The really kind of amazing thing is that everything she does is in camera decisions.
