About the Artist
Raised in Nova Scotia’s beautiful Annapolis Valley, John Eaton has always been entranced by the magic of Nova Scotia’s back roads. With a background ranging from magazine art direction to film sets to crafting exhibits at a children’s science centre, he finds his inspiration in some odd places - lately being drawn to the decaying built heritage that can be found throughout Nova Scotia. Working with a variety of recycled objects, he captures the essence of these forgotten spaces and preserves their memories in miniature. The open doors, missing walls, and vacant windows of these sculptures call you to think about the frailty of our existence and the legacies we leave behind.
Artist Statement
The magic of Nova Scotia's back roads has always spoken to me, and the decaying built heritage that can be found there holds a beauty that is quickly disappearing into nature.
Working with a variety of recycled objects, I try to capture the essence of these forgotten spaces and preserve their memory in miniature.
The open doors, missing walls, and vacant windows of these sculptures call to you to think about the frailty of our existence and the legacies we leave behind.
