Gallery Bailey is a new project by Mark and Sally Bailey, owners of Baileys home store near Ross-on-Wye (baileyshome.com).
We were inspired to start our gallery/home after a long anticipated visit to Kettles Yard in Cambridge. We loved the late Jim Ede's simple way of living with art and his insistence that Kettles Yard should be a place that is . . .
"not an art gallery or museum, nor . . . simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stone, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."
Gallery Bailey is a place where works of art can be seen in a domestic setting, rather than isolating them in a typical white gallery space.
We are in the final stages of working on the house and gathering together our collection and hope to show it all online soon. Some of it can also be seen in our latest book "handmade home".
