Josephine Taylor: Works on Paper November 27, 2008

Josephine Taylor studied religion and East Indian languages at the University of Colorado as an undergraduate before pursuing her graduate degree in fine art at the San Francisco Art Institute. Taylor creates narrative drawings using diluted permanent ink washes on enormous sheets of paper and prefers to install the work unframed. Her work examines the emotional and psychological residue of childhood and adolescence. Though her subject matter is intensely personal and rendered with a tender fragility, her large-scale works on paper defy any presupposition of intimacy.
