Raissa Bailey’s upcoming solo show, “Venus Rising, Axiom Schema,” delves into the concepts of consciousness and evolution. This innovative showcase blends installation and mixed media art, inviting viewers to explore connections between prehistoric and modern modes of creation.

Drawing terminology from theoretical math, Bailey connects the language of math to spirit and intuition, exploring the framework of our shared reality and evolution.

Each piece is designed to provoke thought and reflection, inviting viewers to consider their connections to evolution, consciousness, and creation.
