In her first solo exhibition, Jessica Taylor delves headlong into
the indistinct space between the intention of ideals represented
by authentic goods and the misguided interpretation of their
synthetic counterparts. Taylor explores the psychological affects
of seemingly traditional luxury materials and artificial domestic
items through a physical means. Taking form as intricately
composed installations, environments, and objects, her work
overwhelms the senses with an uncanny, yet distinctive and
indistinguishable nature while preserving experiential
accessibility. In “Telling Us Stuff We Already Know”, mundane
goods are uniquely altered and combined to create relationships
that call into question cultural, domestic, and personal values.
Bordering upon reckless, while all the while maintaining an
undeniable sensibility of complete control, Taylor’s approach is
a direct exploration of materials that subversively heightens the
viewer’s awareness of the inextricable relationship between
façade and reality.
