“No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.” Rachel Carson, Silent Spring | |
Allyson Mellberg Taylor and Jeremy Seth Taylor write: “One Day All Of This Will Be Yours” is an idea that is simultaneously ominous and optimistic. Building on our previous works, we explore a fascination and fraught relationship with nature and question our effect on the earth as humans. The insidious amount of waste and pollution generated in a capitalist culture humbles us as we push back against the relentless bombardment and challenge that over-consumption creates in our world. The human body as an embattled organism appears out of scale with elements of nature and animals, as a way to express vulnerability and humility. Physical struggle, revenge fantasies, dreamscape imagery, visualizations, all come together to create a personal symbolism when dealing with themes of chronic and environmental illness and oppressive external forces. We are continually recycling, foraging, growing food and artist materials, in an effort to leave a smaller footprint. However, there is an ever-present system surrounding us that challenges our efforts to heal and regenerate the soil and spaces around us. In our work we engage in visions of remediation and connection to ecosystems, and how we interact with nature. Allyson Mellberg Taylor is a drawer, painter, printmaker, sculptor, organic vegetable and pigment gardener, zine/artist book maker, science-fiction lover, and Art Professor at James Madison University based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Allyson’s work is rooted in dystopic sci-fi and the lovely/uncomfortable space we humans attempt to occupy in nature. She has exhibited her work extensively at the regional, national, and international levels in exhibitions at LABspace, SEPTEMBER, The Drawing Now Exhibition in Paris at the Carousel Du Louvre, The Outsider Art Fair with Galerie LJ in NYC/Paris, The Museo De Arte Contemporaneo De Monterrey, in Monterrey, Mexico, the Milwaukee Art Museum, The Bemis Center in Omaha, NE, The Fralin Art Museum at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA, SECCA in Winston Salem, NC, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta, GA, and Third Drawer Down in Victoria, Australia. Allyson’s work has been featured in Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Venus, Frankie, and Bust Magazines. Allyson has worked with the collective groups Booklyn (NYC), Cinders Gallery, and Team Lump (Raleigh). Jeremy Seth Taylor is a Charlottesville based painter, printmaker, designer, bio-intensive gardener, and Assistant Professor of Art at PVCC. His work is built from a strong reverence for animals and nature. Jeremy uses traditional forms that are reminiscent of Japanese block printing, children's book illustrations, comic books, and Flemish engravings. His work finds the space where these illustrative formats converge to slur ideas of innocence and experience; where fantasy merges with ominous realism. Jeremy received an MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has exhibited his works at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA), The Rose Museum in Boston, The Atlanta Contemporary Art Museum, La Maison Rouge in Paris, Booklyn in NYC, The Bemis Center, LABspace, Cinders Gallery, and at LUMP Gallery in NC. | |
