New Blood Art Statement
Taylor’s visually arresting and idiosyncratic body of work investigates the possibility of personal expression in a language that is public. Often using found sheets of paper; Taylor works from the suggestion of existing marks and shapes. There is something extremely raw about the work, in its final visual form, and its attempt to rise above the fixed and the coercive.

Artist Statement
The paintings and drawings affirm a desire to understand more about human relationships, specifically my own interaction with others. They are equally about forming a balance between formal concerns and the creation of emotional resonance.While issues, thoughts and feelings, which often evoke memory, personal history, fears and anxieties, are central concerns, it is their exploration through the specific languages of painting and drawing that informs the meaning. In this body of work, the focus is on recording and mapping social interaction through mark-making engaging with these humanistic themes, as intimate / public dialogues are played out on the paper or canvas in an attempt to challenge the validity of language in articulating these aspects of human experience.
