“The artworks feel both deeply personal and objective at the same time. This dichotomy can be found throughout all of Smith’s work as she merges two ways of observing the world: the aesthetic of art with the factual understanding of contemporary society, human behavior, science and technology.” – The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. Indiana University
Taylor Smith explores imagery and objects with a focus on consumerism, nostalgia and pop art history. She uses abstraction, figuration and reinterpretation of familiar pop art icons to speak to the fleeting nature of technology, science, people and our natural resources. Using a wide variety of materials and mediums, including discarded computer disk drives and commercial packaging, Smith blends the practice of screen printing, painting and filmmaking.
