Opis

No Ordinary Days surveys Maggie Taylor s work from 1998 until 2012. Taylor, trained as a photographer, largely abandoned the camera for another light-sensitive device, the flatbed scanner. She begins her process with a found object--often a nineteenth-century photograph--and using image manipulation software like Adobe Photoshop(r) she transforms the original image, layering and manipulating her palette of collected visual information in a meticulous process than pushes the limits of her medium. The result is a surrealistic, often painterly, montage distinguished by vibrant color and a rich symbolism.Taylor s striking combinations of history and imagination invite the viewer to engage in a process of both discovery and recollection. The genre is often described as altered or fabricated photography. Although Taylor s work is autobiographical--informed by childhood memories, anxieties, and television consumption--it defies easy interpretation.Maggie Taylor is a digital artist who has exhibited her work throughout the United States and abroad. Her images are featured in Maggie Taylor s Landscape of Dreams, Solutions Beginning with A, and Lewis Carroll s Alice in Wonderland. Visit her website at www.maggietaylor.com"
