Baker Artist Portfolios

I examine workers and labor, using photography, installations, and community engagements. One example is Trade 4 Art, a barter network that I built in Baltimore between artists and tradespeople. Another example is Yard Work, a series of ephemeral portraits of lumberjacks that I print directly on leaves.

Materially, I use alternative photo processes to create images that examine alternative labor practices. My work has received support from the Cultural Affairs Department of Paris, The Florence Gould Foundation, The Smithsonian Museum of American History, the Maryland State Arts Council, Baltimore Office for Promotion and Arts, et al.

I was born May 29 1959, in Goldsboro North Carolina and currently live in Baltimore USA.
