Artist Biography

Erica Bailey is a multimedia artist whose installations explore themes of alienation, disorientation, indeterminacy, anxiety, and senselessness through built environments of varying scale. She holds a BFA in sculpture from The Ohio State University and an MFA in three-dimensional media from the University of Cincinnati. Her MFA thesis project, The House that was Haunted Before It was Built (2007), represented her first free-standing house project. She has since created and erected a second free-standing house project, titled Telescoping House (2010), for the UnMuseum of the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center. Having worked primarily as a project based artist, she is looking forward to developing a studio based practice during her residency at NARS Foundation
