Taylor, trained as a photographer, largely abandoned the camera for another light-sensitive device, the flatbed scanner. She begins her process with a found object--often a nineteenth-century photograph--and using image manipulation software like Adobe Photoshop® she transforms the original image, layering and manipulating her palette of collected visual information in a meticulous process than pushes the limits of her medium. The result is a surrealistic, often painterly, montage distinguished by vibrant color and a rich symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaylor’s striking combinations of history and imagination invite the viewer to engage in a process of both discovery and recollection. The genre is often described as altered or fabricated photography. Although Taylor’s work is autobiographical--informed by childhood memories, anxieties, and television consumption--it defies easy interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaggie Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e is a digital artist who has exhibited her work throughout the United States and abroad.
