Morrison.
This suite of powerful cyanotype imagery printed on jacquard cotton is a meditation on healing, grief, family and the enduring ties that bind generations together. The cyanotype process, which captures the ghostly forms of objects through the play of light and shadow, mirrors the way our memories are formed, imprinted with the indelible impressions of our ancestors.
Through bailey's art, we are invited to connect with the legacy of colonialism and residential schools, to remember our own family narratives, and to find solace, joy and celebration in the transformative power of creativity.
bailey macabre is an agender nêhiyaw/michif/Ukrainian self-taught interdisciplinary artist and writer residing on the homelands of the Snuneymuxw on so-called Vancouver Island, with matrilineal ties to Beardy’s & Okemasis Cree Nation. Their practice includes a variety of mediums from comics and digital art to painting, sculpture, beadwork and zines.

She creates watercolour paintings and various digital projects, including publications and video essays. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Art and Creative Writing from VIU and an MFA in Art from the University of Lethbridge.
