May 7, 2024
The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥â€™s New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) is proud to present Echoing Ideations, a solo exhibition by Bailey Roby, a current design student at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥, Saturday, May 11 through Saturday, June 15. An opening reception will be held from 3-5 p.m. Saturday, May 11 at the Gallery and is open to the public at no charge. Ìý
Roby tends to explore performative and conceptual installations that confront the viewer with thought-provoking subjects. From The Giving Tree, a work where Roby dangled felted pads and tampons from a tree, to her most recent work Unheard Echoes, a book of unsent letters to people in Roby’s past, she broaches uncomfortable and often personal subjects as a wayfinding tool for her own healing journey. Roby has been working on Echoing Ideation, bolstered by an Endeavor grant totaling $2,450, under the guidance of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Rob Dickes, Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital Imaging, since August 2023.
Roby is a contemporary artist who explores the combination of installation and imagery. She is a local art student at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ and primarily works photographically and with mixed media installation works. She is set to graduate with a bachelor's degree in May 2025 and plans to continue to grow her conceptual art while working towards becoming a commercial photographer.
