Week 2: Color

Artist Research

Jessica Eaton is a Canadian artist, she uses her camera to create colors invisible to the naked eye. Eaton explains that she exploits the properties of light through additive color separation: whereas the primary pigment colors (red, blue, yellow) get darker as they blend, the primary colors of light (red, blue, green) move toward white. Then she will put a filter of these three colors to her camera. She doesn’t know what these pictures will look like until the photos are developed . Most of her work is based on shapes, such as circles, squares,and rectangles. personally, I love her work, it’s very unique and the aspect of not knowing what your going to get is intense. For me I have that experience with the kiln, you might have an idea of what it will look like but there can be surprises sometimes good and sometimes bad.

  1. Kaylee – these are great! I especially love the red-orange still life: there is something so weird (and wrong?!) about a bag of Doritos, Bath and Body Works lotion and a Sharpie together. What a strange combo. Strange is great! The yellow-orange trash bags, empty pill bottle and paint container are equally as strange. I love how just by placing 2 or three objects next to each other you start to develop a narrative.
    Also much much much better on your documentation this week. The lighting and background are carefully considered and it really helps unify these as a series.
    I dont see your documentation of the whole spectrum (in one photo). Also your artist response and color research.
