CURRENTLY IN FOCUS: CARRIE ON

Medium: Minimalist Narrative Moving-Image Art

Focus: An ongoing series of minimalist, non-verbal tributes to cinema history

Skye Bailey is a professional Moving-Image Artist whose practice centers on a minimalist visual language where graphic elements serve as protagonists in silent, one-minute films. Bypassing text, dialogue, and human representation, their work inherently removes the language barrier, making the storytelling universally accessible across cultures. Their practice relies on precise vector choreography and structural timing developed primarily in Apple Keynote alongside the Adobe Creative Suite. After earning the 2023 "Rookie of the Year" award in Motion Graphics from The Rookies for early work featuring atmospheric sound, followed by the 2024 Big Idea Grant, their practice evolved in 2026 into a dedicated focus on pure silence for final exhibition works. Their moving-image works have been recognized across international festival circuits, including Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival, the Los Angeles Animation Festival, the New York Animation Film Awards, and Midnight Madness Toronto.
