Kirsten Taylor

Influenced by my rural childhood picking dewberries and digging for clay, I focus on our relationship to land and the natural world within my artistic practice. I map the connections between humans, plants, animals, and place. I use foraged or local materials, when possible, to nurture my relationship with land. Responsibly foraged or cultivated plants become paper, ink, or natural dye. I use a regional clay and source local wood. I create mixed media sculptures depicting the animals and plants that I encounter within the ecosystems I call home. Through these sculptures, I explore the network of life that surrounds and sustains me, encouraging this exploration in the viewer as well. Inspired by the teachings of Indigenous and Black feminist thinkers, I resist the extraction and abstraction of Western knowledge systems. Through my art, I emphasize connection and relationship to promote healing. My intention is to inspire my audience to reconnect with the natural world.
