Exploring the Mysterious Beauty of Organic Forms in Contemporary British Sculpture
“Tayler’s practice explores the delicate threshold between the organic and the mechanical, the stable and the unstable, the material and the imagined. Working primarily in wood, he employs an incremental, mathematical process of construction—each adjustment dictating whether a curve extends outward or folds back upon itself. The resulting forms are intricate, fluid, 2 and 3 dimensionally charged with a quirky naturalism.
In Flux, these curving trajectories become metaphors for states of mind: thoughts that cohere with clarity, or else knot and tighten under tension. Tayler’s sculptures are grounded by their points of contact with the floor or wall, yet they seem to listen, transmit, and extend beyond themselves—as if mediating between the inner and outer world.”
