Artist Bio

Xenobia Bailey creates brightly colored, tightly structured crocheted mandalas, tapestries, and poet “street wear,” combining them to form an installation that acts as a village like environment in which poets can perform. The installation consists of color transparencies laminated on neon plexiglass, lit from above with a black light.
