photo-eye Gallery is excited to share new images from represented artist Maggie Taylor.
Maggie Taylor has been utilizing digital technology to build her evocative and elaborate photomontages for over 20 years. These whimsical narratives often begin as pastel background drawings. Additional components, such as drawings, vintage toys, seashells, feathers, taxidermy, and 19th Century photographs, are then scanned and meticulously arranged overtime to complete the scene. Working intuitively, Taylor crafts a surreal alternate reality that is rich in symbolism.

"I work very spontaneously and intuitively, trying to come up with images that have a resonance and a somewhat mysterious narrative content. There is no one meaning for any of the images, rather they exist as a kind of visual riddle or open-ended poem, meant to be both playful and provocative. " – Maggie Taylor
