Artist’s Statement

Bailey works in performance and mixed media. Through her performances she strives to brake down the boundary between the performer and the audience while revealing the dynamics of relationships. At the core of her work she challenges the symptoms she suffers from as a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Although the subject of PTSD can be viewed as very serious, Bailey aims to explore her symptoms in a humorous and light-hearted way.
