Taylor Black is an artist and designer living and working in Brooklyn NY. Situated within a realm of complex alternate cultures, histories, and systems of belief, his work employs various media to tell the story of an imagined reality. Propaganda and mythical imagery evoke familiar forms from across time, while also remaining firmly routed in the alternative.
The traditions of narrative and visual history are mined to produce artifacts and scenes from a unique reality. Working within this faux-historical context, the “artifacts” serve as a chorographic backdrop behind which infinite stories unfold. These pieces exist as representation of a both physical and conceptual chronological dating upon which the ritual of historical narrative is glimpsed as an alternate reality.
