Cameron Bailey (b.1990) is an emerging printmaker specializing in water-based woodblock technique. He studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art and began printmaking in 2016. Primarily working in a multi-layer reduction technique, Cameron uses traditional Japanese printmaking tools and materials to create evocative landscapes and portraits.
-“Much like a reduction print, memories are built with bits and pieces of moments, small seemingly unimportant details coalesce to form an image, an event, a snapshot of a place or feeling. When starting an image, I begin with a field of color, a mood, atmosphere, time in space that affects everything coming after it. Out of this construction a memory emerges, imprinted.”
