Dominique Bailey-Boahene (b. 2003) is a multi-disciplinary artist working across sculpture, textiles and performance, reworking discarded materials through processes of reuse and transformation.
Her practice is informed by knowledge passed through generations of women in her Jamaican family, drawing on traditions of repair and resourcefulness embedded in everyday life. Working through felting, weaving and construction, she develops sculptural forms through testing rather than predetermined outcomes. Performance extends this enquiry through improvised singing, responsive to environment, atmosphere and material conditions.
Collective making and workshop environments are central to her practice, informing an interest in how knowledge is shared through embodied experience, demonstration and exchange. Her work explores how personal and collective histories are held in material, approaching sculpture as both a physical object and a site of process, presence and relation.
