Artist Statement
As a person living with several disabilities, finding ways to form positive experiences and connections with my body is central to my art.
As a lgbtqia+ person, with a non-binary spouse, our bodies and relationship are often politicized, and art offers me to opportunity to explore and process those feelings and experiences.
Ceramics
I make ceramics inspired by the feelings in my body when I enter the studio. Creating ceramics is the time I feel the most in-tune and happy in my body.
My work is inspired by the joy I feel in the physical action of creation. It is also inspired by my love of nature and history.
Photography
I love travel to historical places, national and start parks, botanical gardens and wildlife refuges. Taking my camera pushes me physically to explore these places, but also to slow down and appreciate all the details.
My work is inspired by my delight in the discovery and appreciation of those details, big and small.
Alex Taylor
