Sean T. Bailey, Ph.D.
My innate desire to study and understand the world's natural and cultural complexities led me to degrees in zoology, anthropology, and a doctorate in genetics & molecular biology. My approach invites one to explore oscillating perceptions marked by the path I chose. I firmly believe the physical image resonates in both of these areas of one’s experience. Through utilization of various analog formats and darkroom printing techniques, I strive to construct a body of work that interconnects the tangible and intangible narrative of the world I have experienced. It is in this space that I am present and open to others around me.
