Amy-Ann Bailey

Amy-Ann Bailey is an Australian contemporary artist, engaging in a performance and sculptural-based practice. Appropriating domestic practices and forms, Amy questions her place and role as a bisexual cisgendered woman in the domestic space and seeks to critique the home as an institution of the cis-hetero-patriarchy. Employing cleaning as a methodology, the gesture of washing and grooming is reversed through the application of paint, clay and plaster, transforming her body into an object as a reflection of her function in the domestic space.
