I love the way some artists are visual archaeologists. California based artist Amadea Bailey takes a journey of exploration and excavation each time she works a canvas.
Like other “excavation” artists whose work I love, such as M.A. Tateishi and Christina Foard, Bailey builds her work, layer upon layer, eventually unearthing treasures as they resurface.
Her large canvases are worlds unto themselves, images appearing out of the chaos, like mirages in the desert.
To see more of Amadea Bailey’s work, please visit her website.
All images are via the artist’s website.
