A choice of uplifting work from artist Mikey Yates (beforehand featured here). “2 Summers” conveys the sensation of what it’s to reside optimistically — with a way of wonderment, awe, and wholehearted connection. An ode to small moments of hope and peacefulness, the pictures have been created throughout Yates’ time on the Skowhegan Artist Residency, after which completed in Yates studio in Kansas Metropolis. The collection captures the summer season Yates skilled, each physicality and actually. This prolonged season — the psychological break and sense of freedom — is current within the work as he depicts every part from like to loss, associates and colleagues, swims and celebrations, milestones and reminiscences.
