Angie Taylor, 2022
Morgan le Fay
Morgan le Fay was an ambiguous character from the legend of King Arthur - wrongly perceived by the world as a jealous, power-hungry and cunning woman. In reality she was powerful, kind and intelligent.
She was a healer & visionary with magical skills. An honest, benevolent, independent spirit, she became increasingly disconnected from other people. As a result she was persecuted and vilified.
This duality of spirit is illustrated in this artwork, which is featured in The Grail NFT project. We see Morgan facing us with her wand poised over the earth and the pentagon symbol behind her, symbolising the witch-like qualities she was rumoured to possess and her role as an enchantress and manipulator of men.
Behind her, reflected in the mirror we see what I consider to be her truer self. She's looking out, beyond her public image. Contemplatively sitting, reading a book, surrounded by healing paraphernalia with white magic symbols framing the mirror.
Modelled in VR and painted on iPad, tweaked, lit and rendered in Cinema 4D. Post production in After Effects and Magic Bullet.
Angie Taylor is a traditionally-trained sculptor who has worked as a digital artist since the 1980's. Her current creative process begins in VR where she models 3D characters and scenes. These are hand-painted and textured on iPad before being rendered in desktop 3D software. Her work explores themes of identity, isolation & otherness - often championing life's misfits and highlighting the struggles faced by them. Her highly-distinctive style is hard to pin down but has been described by some as Punk-Expressionism - a unique mix of punk art, naive art, pop art & expressionistic aesthetics and themes.
