In the realms of the unreal, 2012
Hannah Texie Bailey was born in Houston, Texas. Growing up in the city,
she was equally influenced by ideas of the art world and the romance of the
Texas tall tale. She is a mixed media artist who works with found and reclaimed
material. Currently, Bailey is working on a series of sculptures as she
finishes her last year at Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in
Painting. Her future plans are to move to West Texas, and continue to working
in her studio.

On her wedding day, 2012
In this work, objects, settings and sculptures are
creating an intimate environment of memory that is influenced by folk tales,
stories, and storytellers. The objects in the pieces become artifacts that
create personal and universal narratives.
The series is influenced by the temporal American
landscape, and the haunting desire society has to preserve it. I am exploring
the ideas of self-sufficiency and self-preservation through my works using
reclaimed and found items. This combines with the influence of my personal
American History that I am exploring with family heirlooms and the storytellers
from my bloodline. Using family photographs from my parent’s marriage,
I am preserving their life together while it is presently falling apart. These
works are an alter into a different realm, that explore mystery and hope.
