Past projects
This page includes a selection of projects made by Bobby Baker, and with Daily Life Ltd. Works made between 1972 and 1995 are authored exclusively in Bobby Baker’s name. In 1995, Daily Life Ltd. was founded to support the production and touring of Bobby Baker’s artworks. Since then, the organisation has developed to include a range of activities, led by Baker (see About Us).
Projects produced after 1995 are therefore a mix of those that remain solely Bobby Baker artworks produced with support from Daily Life Ltd., and others that are led by Baker, as Artistic Director of Daily Life Ltd. Where they are Daily Life Ltd. projects, these are collaborative ventures often including other artists, creative practitioners, the Daily Life Ltd. team, and other arts and health professionals.
