Keepsakes of Strangers Exhibit

Malcolm Easton’s project, Keepsakes of Strangers, derives from his visits to estate sales at homes of the recently deceased. He focuses on the humbler possessions left behind. These objects carry hints of their connections to the everyday lives of their owners. Malcolm selects some of these things to be photographed. Working with natural light in his studio, he finds that illumination can bring new life to items that might otherwise seem outworn. He also explores juxtapositions that allow objects to relate to each other in unexpected ways.
