Austyn Taylor (1984) is a nomadic sculptor, traveling and lecturing regularly around the world. Taylor’s sculptures illustrate the absurdist humor one has when trying to hold both “realism” and “optimism” as one’s values. She uses imagery from hand-drawn animation, modern art and ancient sculpture to drum home friendly adages like, “everyone is trying their best.” Hand-made sculptures symbolically visualize our collective humanity, give proof for a pro-human doctrine and make valid an optimistic approach to reality.
