The Right Reverend James W. Bailey, C.S.A. (Contemporary Southern Artist)
Tuesday, March 6, 2007 at 02:06PM Right out of the box you just have to be intrigued by a guy who claims to be 'Burning the Flesh Off Modern Art' as The Right Reverend James W. Bailey does on his multimedia blog Black Cat Bone.
On his blog, The Right Reverend writes; "The Right Reverend James W. Bailey is an experimental artist, photographer and imagist writer from Mississippi. His art focus includes Littoral Art Projects that explore the fleeting moments of cross-cultural communicative intersections; film projects, including the short film, "Talking Smack"; "Wind Painting", a unique naturalistic art practice inspired by the vanishing Southern African-American cultural tradition of the Bottle Tree; street photography centered on the hidden cultural edges of inner city New Orleans life; and "Rough Edge Photography", a hard-edge non-digital photographic style that celebrates the death of 35mm film through the burning, tearing, slashing and violent manipulation of chemically developed negatives and prints."
Check it out. I love it, but be forewarned, 'Burning The Flesh Off Modern Art' is not an activity for the hidebound traditionalist.
