About

Fine papers, fragile halftones and subtle impressions that prompt the viewer to look more closely.

​

In his practice, Bailey McDermott, based in Melbourne/Australia, works primarily in printmaking and photography to grasp and lean into this feeling of delicacy where image and material can carry equal weight both physically and conceptually.

​

Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, their works remain open-ended, encouraging audiences to slowly engage and uncover their own perceptions and connections.

​

Whether intimate in scale or more expansive, the works insist on closeness and delicacy. They remind us that images are not only seen but held — fragile yet enduring, shaped as much by their material presence as by what they may depict.
