PAINTER
01 about
Sally Bailey is an artist, writer and researcher living in the West Midlands. She successfully completed her practice-led PhD at the Birmingham School of Art, BCU, in November 2021. Her thesis - Locating a Space of Exchange: re-imagining the liminal in contemporary painting practice - reframes the liminal as a conceptual space between painter and painting, process and outcome; examining how the painter can exploit the potentiality of this transformative space to develop experimental practice and push forward current thinking.

Sally Bailey's paintings have been shown widely in exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Her work is embedded within the interstices and interfaces existing between Painter/painting/Painting (as subject/process/object). "Here the outcomes of experimentation are displayed; fragments that exist as epistemic things. In a continuing process of evolving and revealing, they reflect a material moment in time, the beginnings of presencing".
