“Through collage and digital alteration of fashion and weekly magazines, artist Sali Taylor explores the intrinsic paradox in the roles women are expected to play in contemporary culture: seductress vs. feminist, ambitious vs. humble, careerist vs. home-bound. Not one to shun her subversive inclinations, Taylor, a self-described "fauxtographer," takes her work beyond the gallery, slipping her altered images into magazines on store racks and in the waiting rooms of dentists. Has time spent waiting ever been so provocative?”
Rozalia Jovanovic, Flavorpill
gallery nine5 says:
A waifish model stalking down a catwalk made of Venus de Milos; figures from Botticelli's Primavera posing with Greek Amagos Icons and voluptuous beer spokesmodels; a thermal camera image of Scarlett Johansson, Suri Cruise and a Disney Princess. Sali Taylor’s wit manifests itself in the clever juxtaposition of over five thousand years of feminine iconography. Drawing images from the Cycladic period to contemporary pop culture, Taylor possesses a visual lexicon that is both sophisticated and inexhaustible in scope.
