Canadian photographer Jessica Eaton, who recently won the photography prize at the 2012 Hyères Festival, uses her camera to create color invisible to the naked eye. Learn more about how she does it—and why—here.
Jessica’s work is so beautiful… and finally getting the acclaim it - and she - deserves. I’m so proud to call this incredibly gifted lady a friend.
Congratulations to Jessica Eaton — she was recently awarded the grand prize in photography for the 2012 Hyères awards.
“The series Cubes for Albers and LeWitt explores the possibilities of manipulating time, space, perception and, in particular, the additive system of colour. The images from this series are constructed onto single sheets of 4 x 5 film. The subject in reality is monochromatic. The photographs use a set of cubes and ground options painted white, two tones of grey, and black.
Through multiple exposures the colour hues in each image have been made by exposing the film to the additive primaries of red, green and blue. The reflective value of the cubes controls the value or lightness of that hue, and the black is utilised as a type of reflective mask, holding potential on the film for other exposures.
As the title suggests, there is a nod to Josef Albers and his impressive studies of the subtractive systems of colour, and to Sol LeWitt for his notes on Conceptual Art. LeWitt serves as an example of modular systems to reduce a subject while heightening conceptual meaning. These images are completely photographic and not visible to the naked eye. Photographically my main reference not mentioned in the series title is Ansel Adams and his thoughts about visualisation in photography and the potential of the zone system.”Thanks Time Lightbox!
It was a privilege and pleasure to meet Time photography director Kira Pollack over the weekend in France. And an honor to have had the jury award me the photography prize. I’m looking forward to coming back next year for my solo exhibition and meeting next years shortlisted photographers. I highly recommend people apply for this one!
Congrats to my amazingly talented friend Jessica!

Opening Thursday! @ Higher Pictures. I’ll be in attendance, come say hi if you can.
Cubes for Albers and LeWitt
November 3 – December 17, 2011
Opening: Thursday, November 3, 6 - 8 pm
Higher Pictures presents Cubes for Albers and LeWitt the first solo New York exhibition by Jessica Eaton.
Jessica Eaton creates art in consideration of what Joseph Albers called the “discrepancy between physical fact and psychic effect”. Eaton’s instruments for seeing are a negotiation of perceivable reality and how photography works in order to expand the potential of a constructed photograph. The work produces an effect where a steady gaze becomes a steady haze.

I may not be a huge financial success in life, but I am still a person whom friends IM when their shit goes viral (or gets on the Radar) to ask “was this you?”
It wasn’t - my girl Jessica got 2 things up there today all on her own merits - but it was awfully sweet of her to ask.

A giant thanks to this years jury, and of course, Maryann and the Magenta Foundation!
On a final note for this one! I am done emerging :) Having been now both a “hot shot” and a “bright spark”…. I will now try to be a “mid-career”.
Seriously, you guys. go see her work.
Also in New York… it is your last chance to check out The Sum of All Colors @ Sasha Wolf Gallery. There is a review of the show coming in the May 23rd issue of the New Yorker.
