Chris Bailey (born 1965) is a Māori sculptor and carver.[1] Bailey studied Māori language and Māori material culture at the University of Auckland under Dante Bonica.[2] He lives and works on Waiheke Island.[3]

Gravitating towards the harder stones of basalt and granite Bailey developed form driven stone works in a larger scale while also developing his carving skills working in totara alongside carvers of Piritahi Marae on Waiheke Island.

Recognition

Bailey has exhibited both nationally and internationally, winning the 2014 Wallace Arts Trust New Zealand Sculptor Award for his Bondi Points at the Bondi Beach, Sculpture by the Sea.[4][5] He has received financial support from Creative New Zealand to produce works.[6] In 2010, Ringa Whao a documentary about Bailey's practice was produced by Rongo Productions.[7] In 2011, he completed a public commission of carved pou situated outside Britomart Transport Centre in Auckland.[8] Recognised for starting the pou (carved timber pallisade post) movement on Waiheke Island in recognition of the islands Māori history which saw other sculptors take up the art form in later years.
