January’s Exhibit:

”Broken Windows: Abandoned Nova Scotia in Miniature” by John Eaton

Artist Statement

Inspired by our rapidly vanishing architectural heritage, the tiny examples of abandoned Nova Scotian architecture brought to life by artist John Eaton capture the imagination with the stories they tell. These miniatures are crafted completely from recycled materials with many incorporating found objects associated with the real places. 

Preserving the memory of Nova Scotia’s built heritage is important to John, who grew up in Somerset, Nova Scotia, and now resides in the Musquodoboit Valley. He draws his inspiration from his passion for local history and from the many scenic backroads he and his family enjoy exploring.
