About the Item

Maggie Taylor creates evocative single-scene narratives in her whimsical and elaborate photomontages. Working intuitively, Taylor combines 19th Century photographs, found objects, and digital capture to craft surreal alternate realities rich in symbolism. “To me, the images work on two levels: they are about these specific objects, yet they also invite reverie or recollections. I like to think that the objects are obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious. Most of the items have some sort of resonance or uniqueness for me when I first see them … [I’m] usually in the dark as far as the symbolism – especially when I am working. Some of the objects have a resonance for me, and others might even call up specific memories. But when I put them all together, they often add up to more than I consciously had in mind at the time I was outside photographing. I like the images to be ambiguous and even a little disturbing or uncomfortable.” – Maggie Taylor
