In its totality, the body of Dailey’s work reflects the story of an artist driven by a curious mind in pursuit of discovery. His exploration of both the external aspects of the human conditions and the internal dimensions of the individual generates a dialectic for understanding cultures, societies, and individual behavior. Dailey’s external work—or those engaging with The Human Experience—principally explores the challenges and issues of human behavior, war, peace, and societal self-destruction. These works examine the many faces and paradoxes of humanity, providing through the vehicle of art a window into its propensities and contradictions. To achieve his conceptual and performance-based art, he expands the parameters and uses of media to include photography, video, mixed media, installations, and painting. As such, his art defies easy categorization. Many of these projects were produced during travels both in the United States and Internationally, inviting members of the global community to become participants in these performance works.
