The Village at MeridianPENITENT: Art Talk & Exhibit
An art talk and exhibit featuring artist-in-residence Camilla Taylor explores a new body of drawings, prints, and sculpture shaped by the legend of St. Mary of Egypt, the saint pictured veiled by her own hair after years of ascetic wandering. Hair appears as a recurring material and symbol, standing in for the body, carrying culturally charged, almost talismanic qualities, and invoking femininity that they approach with ambivalence. These works trace the physical and imagined power of hair while returning to the saint’s story. Taylor’s practice was profoundly altered when the Eaton Fire destroyed their Altadena home and studio along with nearly all existing artwork and belongings. Since then, their making has shifted toward more delicate, carefully held forms. They curated the group exhibition My House Burned Down at Track 16 Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles, and mounted the solo exhibition and catalog Unkindness at Track 16 Gallery in East Hollywood, engaging themes of atheist mysticism. One piece in that exhibition survived the fire, bringing endurance and change into the work itself. Born in Hayward and raised in Provo, Taylor now lives in Los Angeles. They have been a ceramic artist in residence at the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Residency and received a Pollock-Krasner Artist Fellowship. Working in glass, printmaking, metal, fabric, and other media, they examine interior states and the uncanny through the mortal body as both form and site of attraction and revulsion. Pieces such as Unrelenting, a cast glass foot subjected to frostbite, point to an interest in vulnerability, endurance, and the moments when body and mind are reshaped under pressure. Taylor has taught sculpture, drawing, and printmaking at UCLA and Occidental College.
