Artist Talk – Jo Taylor
Pay-what-you-can
- Visiting information
- During the Biennial, visiting hours are 10am to 4pm
(Not) Guilty Pleasures by Jo Taylor
Jo Taylor’s works are inspired by an interest in the Rococo period. She distils the essence of Rococo – curves, ornament, skill, palette, asymmetry, joy, theatricality – into a garniture of large-scale sculptural vessels.
For Award 2025, clay will be coloured, thrown and coiled to create sculptural vessels which are elevated on feet or stands for posture. The surfaces will be adorned with thrown and hand-built additions alongside thick coloured slip.
