Tumblr assignment #6 Even though we'd previously discussed Clayton Bailey in class and I remembered his BigFoot work, I hadn't registered that he was the same artist whose website I had just clicked on. So when the link opened and I saw the out of date web design I thought it must be some little known artist. Contrary to that notion, Bailey has actually had a successful career. Once I put two and two together, I realized that the old fashioned web design falls in with the wacky and rustic theme that goes along with all his work. By way of guns, unsettling monsters, and questions of science, Bailey has created a world that brings the viewer's attention not only to themselves but to the world that created them, and what that world still has yet to present.
Assigment 1
Solar Pyroshere - 1992 by Clayton Bailey, Stoneware ceramic with glass lens, 30’ diameter, 2” x 12” wood plank
"The Pyrosphere is a solar data gathering instrument which records sunlight as a burned line in a 2" X 12" board"
"It has been suggested that the pyrosphere could also be used as solar fired salmon smoker. In addition, a Pyrosphere could be utilized as a solar camera, because a tree or other large object, when standing in front of the lens, leaves its unburned shadow image on the plank. However, it takes six months for the entire image to appear, and the exposure must begin on the solstice."
The industrial facade of this piece, combined with the allure of it’s antique magical wonder leaves me wishing that I had known of this piece about 15-20 yrs ago, for it would have the most convincing of evidence for many of the theories I was developing during my childhood. How I longed for such inventions to exist on a small scale…seemingly safe enough to be trusted in the hands of a child, but of course when under the supervision of parents.
It was in part to this specific body of work that led me to research the following bits of information: Is Clayton Bailey still alive? Do you think he would be my friend? Where does he reside? How much are plane tickets to Port Costa, CA? I bet his wife is lovely, is she an artist too???
Assignment 1 Black Magic Wizard Bottle- 1991 by Clayton Baily, Stoneware, Glass, Brass, Wood, Silica Crystal, 44” x 20”
"Radiation from the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum passes through the crystal, and is converted into "crystal power" by the vibrations of the crystal lattice. This energy is collected and trapped inside the Black Magic Wizard Bottle.
Objects placed temporarily inside the jug become charged with this crystal power. This type of energy is known for its curative effects, and is used by many for healing and achieving good fortune.”
Without the description of intended use for this body of work, I feel as though I would have been guilty of scrolling right past it. While browsing through Clayton Bailey’s work, you first sense the presence of satire towards the occult, but you quickly begin to question yourself. You begin to wonder if perhaps this artist is truly a believer of crystal healing powers, miracles of alchemy, and death ray gun machines…and if he is, why aren’t you?!?
