Announcing 'Rediscovering Self: The Layers of Late-Diagnosed Neurodiversity' – My First Solo Exhibition

Written By Tegan Bailey

I am thrilled to share that my first solo exhibition, "Rediscovering Self: The Layers of Late-Diagnosed Neurodiversity," will open on 30 August at E3 Art Space, Wagga Wagga Art Gallery. This exhibition culminates my recent journey exploring neurodiversity, personal growth, and identity through art.

Exhibition Details:

  • Opening Date: 30 August

  • Exhibiting: 31 August to 16 September

  • Location: E3 Art Space, Wagga Wagga Art Gallery

Rediscovering Self: Layers of Late-discovered Neurodiversity presents a new body of work from Tegan Bailey exploring her recent discovery of Autism. Through mixed-media works on paper and experiments in printmaking, Rediscovering Self charts a deeply personal journey. The exhibition weaves a broader narrative of identity, growth, and the nuances of late-discovered neurodiversity for women and gender-diverse people.

Tegan Bailey is an artist who specialises in drawing and has exhibited her work multiple times, including in the Small Works exhibition at Brunswick Street Gallery in 2023. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Charles Sturt University in 2007, and her work is held in private collections. Tegan was identified as Autistic in her mid-30s, giving her a new perspective on her relationships, experiences, memories, and childhood. Through her artmaking, Tegan explores and reexamines memories, using layers of acrylic paint, medium, collage, printing, stamping, and drawing with various line-making tools such as pencils and ink to build depth and variety into her pieces.
