Today we have photographer Clare Marie Bailey for today’s exclusive NAKID feature editorial titled, ‘OF THE AFTERNOON‘.
Inspired by the 1960s cinema, music, deserts, dreams and magic of the nostalgic time period. Clare Marie Bailey was born and grew up on the Island of Anglesey in Wales, UK where she is currently based and works.
Clare’s work, centred on self-portraits, is heavily influenced by the Cinema, Magical Iconography, Dreams, and the Counterculture of the 1960’s and B-Movies. Clare uses film to work towards creating an alternative world where she can co-exist with the ‘real’ world and is fascinated with the idea of ‘doubles’ and ‘doppelgangers’ and the concept of reinvention.
Her work has been exhibited in several group shows which includes Image Nations ‘Instant Art’ in Paris and Arles , The Bombay Beach Biennale in California where her work is in a permanent collection in the Polaroid Museum; Saatchi’s The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles, Barcelona and Instant Cologne. Clare is also one half of Mirror Gaze a musical duo that create dark and naïve drone pop.
