Using mainly green oak and the technique of carving with a chainsaw, Bailey creates unique sculptures closely associated with the natural environment. He also carves sculptures out of ice using a chainsaw. A lover of nature Bailey usually works where he can enjoy an abundance of nature around him. Much of his work is largely or entirely comprised of lattice patterns which suggest the interaction between nature and human beings. The artist usually scorches the surface of his work with a gas burner, the resulting blackness giving them a patina of age that ties in with the kind of spiritual expression that is central to his work.
