About the "Dear Future" auction/fundraiser:

"Dear Future" began, perhaps, as a love letter to precarity, a poison pen to the present. Collecting impressions of our communal POV in the form of 65 distinct art objects, laden with perspectives that bridge right now (the impossible NOW) to the not-quite-Yet beyond the horizon. Join us and maybe you'll see we've put together a time capsule; join us to witness its temporary state of completeness before it's scattered again into the vectors of the hundreds of eager hands that keep our small a art existence alive: supported, recognized, and blossoming.

From a somewhat more pragmatic perspective, "Dear Future" bookmarks the last 12 months for Public Space One. With a nod to our Near Future pop-up exhibition last January to the ever-present Now (again, is it really NOW?) we all inhabit as we lay to rest our reflections of 2017 and enter the dear oh Dear Future.

Oh, You Nasty Huh, Intaglio and mixed media, 25" x 19.5", 2017

Cameron E. York will earn her MFA in Printmaking from the University of Iowa this spring. Her work has been shown in exhibitions throughout the Midwest, as well as in New York, California, Texas, and Oregon.

In her own words:

The art I create is a reflection of my surroundings with a twist. It exposes the darker undertones via the lighthearted vehicle of color, shape, and texture. Tackling subjects that are tense with a candy-coated demeanor makes it more easily accessible to an audience of the general public. My work strives to entice emotion and dialogue out of the viewer. I hope to leave the audience buzzing.
