Mixed-media artist Lindsey Bailey adds pops of color and unlikely textures to Tibbott hallway. She will be an artist-in-residence with sixth graders in May.
The Christine Slayden Tibbott Gallery is pleased to present a new exhibit titled “Twizzle Sequence” which features the work of mixed-media artist Lindsey Bailey.
As an arts educator, Lindsey has taught art extensively in the United States and internationally in Singapore and Doha, Qatar. Her work has appeared in numerous exhibitions around the world. Lindsey creates environments which are themed in connection, play, and alternate possibilities. Her work allows the viewer to interact with props and imagery that evoke questions around identity, cultural inclusion, and globalization.
Her material choices stem from her attraction to celebrations, hyper colors, and craft-based supplies. Unconventional items from home and various supply stores offer exciting textures and unique combinations.
“I am delighted by failure, happy accidents, and alternative possibilities. It increases the chance that something new and exciting might happen,” she said, adding that working with young people on a regular basis inspires her.
Lindsey teaches art at the Brookwood School in Thomasville, Ga. She will visit USN on Thursday, May 3 and Friday, May 4 to collaborate with the sixth-grade Exploring 3-D Art class and to introduce improv costuming to the sixth-grade theater class.
Please join us for an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 3 in the Tibbott Center Gallery at University School of Nashville. The artist will be present. USN is located at 2000 Edgehill Ave., and parking lots are accessible from 19th and 21st Avenues South.
