The sum, and blurry, effect of Downey’s art could be described in terms of a “dissociative fugue,” with the commonplace materials and objects turned asunder and leading us to some uncommon and irrational place. Even so, their instincts for contemporary realities and social issues transcends the absurdist reflexes of Dada. Meaning and light-bulb realizations sneak in various side portals of our art observer’s mind. – Josef Woodard, Santa Barbara Independent

Cameron Patricia Downey: Orchid Blues closes Saturday, December 23rd. If you have not visited yet, please come by, if you have, come back again. 

But with the blues, and in an African sense of time, the now is what matters. There’s always an immediateness; things don’t have to progress. And, in fact, maybe they don’t. And that’s okay. – Cameron Patrica Downey in Conversation with Caroline Kent, Document Journal
