About the Artist
“Michael Eastman is most recognized for his explorations of architectural form and the textures of decay, which create mysterious narratives about time and place. Eastman’s portraits of various structures showcase the effects and transformation of time amid the grandeur, presenting profiles loyal to all of the organic imperfections caused by the passage of time and use. Michael Eastman’s photography emphasizes a sense of quiet admiration and unapologetic sincerity.
Eastman’s pictures present human stages for political, social, and cultural interaction and the untold stories still echoing within their walls. In each creation, he provides an abundance of unique detail, inserting an element of imagined history. His work is a study in profound observation; the moments Eastman captures are part of a larger story. His photographs speak to a narrative beyond the frame. This narrative concerns history and time as a metaphor for a human presence.”
