PAST SHOW
Solecist
Sculptural prints by Camilla Taylor
July 20 - August 11, 2007
opening reception: Friday, July 20, 6-9 pm
A solecist is someone who blunders, someone who makes mistakes. Each piece in this series is the comodification of an idea of a person or type, the friends who you can't quite trust whose characteristics are made apparent by their appearance.
Camilla Taylor, owner of Vegan Erotica, and occasional pinup model, is often referred to as a sculptor by the press. She's more accurately a printmaker.
This solo show consists of a series of relief prints, in a palette limited to black ink on colored and white fabric. The three dimensionality has been made an intrinsic aspect of the pieces, as the individual prints which comprise each piece only become coherent when put together. Patrons at the gallery are invited to touch and interact with the pieces, with a sign which reads "You may gently interfere with their lives."
