Episode description
Tommy Taylor | Hand Held
Tommy Taylor investigates personal mythologies and narratives from his own life and re-contextualizes those experiences in video installations, paintings, and collages. In “Hand Held,” Taylor presents intimate scenes of domestic life that emphasize the importance of touch and the sensory experiences of the home. For the viewer, each piece feels both familiar and foreign, conscious and subconscious, abstract and tangible. Taylor’s work reminds us to always be attentive and aware of the present, and to investigate the familiar as a means to deeper awareness. Taylor is a multi-faceted artist who lives in Houston and teaches at Lone Star College.
