The show consists of new works that explore Christine’s fascination with drawings that blur the line between process and image.

The drawings in this series are made with powdered photocopy toner on paper. Bailey applies and manipulates the toner with paintbrushes and erasers and set it using heat. The toner creates a grainy, soft-focus surface reminiscent of photographic enlargements. Alternating between the baroque and the banal, the imagery in these handmade “copies” is drawn from various sources, including media images, photographs of natural disasters, places Bailey has traveled, places she has imagined, and her own previous artworks.
