Jessica Eaton is a Montreal based photographer who’s breaking some boundaries with her photography. When you look at most of her pieces it’s hard to tell exactly how she made them, even that they’re photos. I mean, the only way I can imagine that she makes these is through multiple exposures, but after that I’ve no clue. A lot of her work centers around cubes on cubes on cubes. The layering effect that’s creatd is beautiful and abstract, filled with the most vibrant colors I’ve ever seen. When I first saw the image at the top left I immediately had to figure out who it was because it was just so beautiful. She has quite a lovely way of speaking about her work:
“I often set up parameters for phenomena to express itself. In the best of 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.”

Christian Stoll. Epic.
Sometimes dizzying and sometimes absurd in scale, the series ‘Epic’ from photographer Christian Stoll includes a sequence of spaces that have one thing in common: they are immense. These spaces may not have been designed using perpective renderings, but they are are engineered or urban planned to stunning effect, even if it’s accidental. These are vantage points that we aren’t used to seeing, even though the spaces facilitate or support processes ubiquitous to our daily lives. These are pictures of the staggering engineering that allows things happen quietly: an order ships, a file downloads, and the only time they occur to us is when something goes wrong. Even though thinking about a processing facility or bank of escalators may not sound too exciting, even quotidian spaces, from a particular vantage point, can be epic. (Written by Alex Dent)
