Letitia Quesenberry: Future Maybe

Overview
Installation shot of Future Maybe with Anon 8 and Anon 5
Floating like polished orbs, Quesenberry’s Pacifiers introduce a bodily dimension via translucent, disc-like wall works.

Future Maybe features the newest permutations in Quesenberry’s As of Yet series, an expansive collection of mixed media images set into handmade wooden frames that suggest the manufactured white square format of Polaroid film. Quesenberry uses the beloved format of instant photography as a framing device for viewing her own bold and vibrant compositions. In what would be the photo emulsion, shapes and colors made from a variety of materials hover in a resinous cavity. Familiar, yet not without material and symbolic mystery,  this prolific body of work harnesses the tangible magic of the analog and film, in an increasingly digital, disembodied reality. In another series referred to as Anon, Quesenberry scales up her aesthetics and further venerates the branded border. These ongoing decisive experiments continue to defy categorization, melding modernist abstraction and geometric mysticism.
