Artist Statement (courtesy of the artist)
My work, through printmaking and drawing, offers a record of warped pastoral landscapes, snapshots of decay, and textures of Americana that examine the still-mutating psychogeography of the American South. Layering together sequences of disjunctive visual references; elements of oral history, myth, and locality are superimposed and stratified. Laminous cycles of associations serve as speculative notations and calculations, attempting to make sense of their surroundings. At the intersections of the frivolous and the tragic, non-linear narratives congeal, concerning themselves with delusion, documentation, and revelation.
About the Artist (courtesy of the artist)
Currently the Assistant Professor of Printmaking and Drawing at the University of Virginia, Jackson Taylor was born and raised in rural Kentucky on an intergenerational cattle and tobacco farm. He holds a BFA in 2D Studio Art from the University of Louisville and received his MFA in Printmaking and Drawing from the University of Iowa in 2021. He is a master of lithography and monotype processes, which he uses to generate multifaceted prints and drawings about growing up in the American South. Taylor conducts printmaking workshops across the US and has exhibited his work internationally.
This exhibition was made possible with support from the Bama Works Fund of Dave Matthews Band at the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation,
