Sculptures by Jennifer Taylor (Jennifer Taylor) depict a chaotic jumble of pipes, chains and many different objects, covered with a layer of white paint. Most of all, it resembles the internal mechanism of some insanely complex machine or a system of internal organs of an equally complex creature. What did Jennifer really want to show in her works?
Taylor grew up in West Wales with eccentric parents who were accustomed to collecting and storing a variety of items at home, from newspapers to pine cones. “Our house was a chaotic concentration of things, it was simply impossible to enter the numerous rooms,” the author recalls. "It's hard not to see the connection between those events and my installations today."
According to the author, she was partially inspired to create such sculptures by psychoses, without which everyday life cannot do, and "the horror of overproduction and tireless work of factories that reflect the constant functions and needs of the human body." Another "factor of influence" on the work of Jennifer Taylor is horror films. The author's works seem to materialize human fears: in Jennifer's works, many see cancer cells or the contents of a human skull subject to incomprehensible mutations. To one degree or another, everyone is afraid of this, and therefore Taylor's sculptures touch the hidden feelings of each viewer.
Jennifer Taylor graduated from London's Royal College of Art in 2007. She took part in group exhibitions in France and Great Britain. The first solo exhibition of the author took place in 2008 in London.
