Maggie Taylor
Internal Logic Book
Maggie Taylor’s digital creations are emblematic, afterimages that invite, transport, and are unforgettable. Taylor’s images are built, layer by layer and object by object, through a disciplined studio process of trial and error. It is only through looking at dozens of these images, and spending time with them, that one begins to unravel the artist’s sensibilities and distinct fascinations that emerge through the repetition of certain images and tropes. Internal Logic highlights Taylor’s sense of what makes an image “work” and offers insights into the shape and contours of her inspirations. Her deep archive of images that return to her art are a lexicon through which to communicate her multi-layered imaginings. Each image contains the keys to understanding the corpus of other images.

Maggie Taylor’s imaginative and surreal images are created by utilizing a variety of imagery. She collects and “recycles” daguerreotype or tintype portraits of unknown subjects from the 19th century. Taylor then builds stories around her subjects by combining her own photographs along with scanned objects to create digital collages in Photoshop; using as many as 200 layers. More recently, she has experimented with using AI technology to source her imagery
