Concept

The interpretations encounter political statements or disperse cultural observations; correspondence that is not immediate but perhaps depends on the contingencies of travel. Subversive systems of posting and collecting dialogue create the emergence of new narratives that are shared and reacted upon through hybrid texts, images and temporary ownership. Show cased as a touring exhibition at Broadwalk Arts, Bristol then at The Willesden Gallery, London, the works continue to explore language, visual interchange and systematic dialogues.

Original manuscript letters written during the Second World War are crafted into tiny envelopes lined with gold paper. Postcard fragments are presented in tiny bundles, each wrapped in ribbon. Gillian Taylor’s framed collections are inspired by her interest in how we communicate and how that has changed over the years.
