Description
Book SynopsisEveryone should own a Beezy Bailey - David Bowie.
Beezy Bailey aspires to create art as a balm for a mad world - a correctivefor our most lamentable human qualities,including a planet brutalised by extremes of wealth and poverty, environmental ignorance and negligence.Often his works are accompanied by poems, such as1000 Year Dance Cure,in which he exhorts the world to dance a new dance, to abandon that which does not serve us, and to embrace each other in our humanity, and the Earth in her service to us. The sources of his imagery are elusive.In his own words: frozen dreams, images and legends enter from my subconscious, the realm of my imagination. I act as a conduit for visual messages greater than I am. This new monograph embraces the entire spectrum of Bailey''s creative output over the pastthirty-five years, from sculpture and ceramics to paintings, prints and drawings.
