Dee Bailey, "Kaskawulsh Fortress," 2020
oil-based modelling clay on wood, framed, 8" x 8"
A solo exhibition of new artwork by Dee Bailey. 'Portals' visits gateways to natural spaces through themes of safety, security and respect. Sculptural clay paintings framed in shadow boxes invite viewers to ponder culture and heritage of the north, engage with the Yukon wilderness, and dream of security in whimsical scenes. The highly detailed paintings invite viewers for a closer look. Viewers can reminisce with their own memories of nature, enjoy enchanted places to stay safe, and engage with respect for others and the land.
