Role of women
Home
Structured like an architectural plan for a suburban house, this text explores the role of a women's identity relating to her house. The book is filled with proverbs that express the
way women view themselves and the way society views women, reflecting on the internal and external pressures that create a women's identity. The proverbs, though presented lightly and with humor at times, are reflective of a deep-set misogyny interwoven into American society.

1492 What Is It Like to Be Discovered?
"1492 What Is It Like to Be Discovered?" explores Columbus and his involvement in "discovering" the "New World." The text consists of poetry, dictionary definitions, magazine/newspaper cutouts, quotes from Columbus' and other conquistadors diaries, and short histories throughout hundreds of years. All the history and its text is true and accurate. The images are from magazines and newspaper cutouts, but the majority of images have been adapted from 16th Century engravings by Theodore de Bry. The book questions how a people and their established civilizations can be "discovered." The book is a criticism of the praise we give Columbus, and is a recount of history, told with all the facts.

Artist's Book
Cosmeceutical Collection
Documenting the struggles and darker sides of the makeup industry, both in the past and the present. Includes ingredients of makeup and their side effects.
While on the outside the work appears to be a regular novel, upon opening it the viewer is confronted with a blush case, a compact mirror, and a tube of mascara. Within each makeup product is written histories and stories of the negative and often hidden dangers of makeup. Often, our identity is closely tied into our appearance, and by addressing the harsh realities of the makeup industry, Bailey forces viewers to confront their own identities as well.
