 I
create art to communicate ideas, thoughts, and/or feelings. I
use a variety of techniques and materials to communicate these
ideas.
Buseje Bailey works across a variety of media, including painting,
photography, video, mixed media and sculptural installation. She
earned her BFA at York University and her MFA at the Nova Scotia
College of Art and Design in Halifax (1992). She also has a Diploma
in Communications: Publishing (Centennial College). In 1992 she
participated in the artists' residency on Race and the Body Politic
at the Banff Centre for the Arts, where she produced the videotape
Blood. Bailey's work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions
nationally and internationally. Most of her professional art career
has focused on the hybridity of her art practice in relation to
her African-Jamaican-Canadian experience and identity. In addition
to her artwork, she delivers courses on African Art in the diaspora
and works on community-based women's projects.
