Jessica Eaton

Jessica Eaton will join us for a live interview on the September 6th show! Jessica uses experimental analog photography techniques that lead us to question the reality of the visible world. The cube is one of her central motifs, and her enigmatic images often reference hard-edge abstraction.

She currently has an exhibition entitled Iterations up at Antoine Ertaskiran Gallery until October 6th.
