About the Item

In 1981 Maggie Taylor (b. 1961) began to photograph while she was a student at Yale University majoring in philosophy. She primarily took photographs of suburban landscapes and strange objects found in yards. In 1985 she enrolled in graduate school at The University of Florida where she encountered a much broader acceptance of manipulated and fabricated photography, both among teachers and fellow students. Her work is featured in Adobe Photoshop Master Class: Maggie Taylor’s Landscape of Dreams, Solutions Beginning with A, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Album, Edizioni Siz, and No Ordinary Days. Taylor’s images have been exhibited in one-person exhibitions worldwide and are in numerous public and private collections including The Art Museum, Princeton University, The Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and The Museum of Photography, Seoul, Korea. In 1996 and 2001, she received State of Florida Individual Artist’s Fellowships. In 2004, she won the Santa Fe Center for Photography’s Project Competition. In 2005 she received the Ultimate Eye Foundation Grant. She lives in Gainesville, Florida. Maggie’s tools are a flatbed scanner, a small digital camera and a computer and more recently, elements of A.I. Her materials are found at flea markets and garage sales. Her inspiration often comes from the objects and old photographs she collects, mingled with her own dreams and memories. These images are open to interpretation by the viewer and they are meant to be both playful and disturbing. The finished limited-edition prints are made on an Iris inkjet printer on a slightly textured matte paper. 48 x 48 inch as dye sublimation on aluminum and 58 x 58 inch on paper may be available so please contact us!
