Workedit
Eaton's photographs focus mostly on some of the basic elements of photography: light, color, and exposure. By manipulating these different aspects in her photos, Eaton is able to explore the different possibilities within photography.[4]
After moving from Vancouver to Toronto and then to Montreal, Eaton produced a career changing series of photos, "Cubes for Albers and LeWitt", for a show sponsored by Red Bull.[4] The series of images are a tribute to artists Josef Albers and Sol LeWitt, taking inspiration from their minimalist and abstract style. Eaton exploits the camera, as she calls it, by continuously taking multiple shots of a cube painted in different colors without winding the exposure. Unlike painting, the added layers of shots on the same piece of film brightens the colors in the pictures.[5][6][7] In some works she shoots only grey cubes and uses different color filters over the lens to expose the film.[8][9]
Her photographs have appeared in publications such as Hunter and Cook, BlackFlash, Pyramid Power and Lay Flat 02: Meta. One of her photographs was chosen for the cover of the March 2011 issue of ARTnews. Her work has been included in a number of group and solo exhibitions in Canada and the United States, as well as in South Korea, Amsterdam, and London.[3][10]
