Sculpture and installation

Image gallery

Enjoy sculpture and installation, because it is fun, mostly! This page contains images of artwork, as well as research, from between 2010 to 2021. Below you will see examples of exhibitions, in the form of installations with objects and slide photography, and documentation of residencies as well as studio experimentation.

  • Richard Taylor artist and editor exhibiting at Basement Arts Project in Leeds, UK, 2013. Turnip prize winner and expert slide photography projection with stones and unfired clay objects.
  • A sequence of objects, yellow and black rope, and XLR cables entwined and hanging from the ceiling in a white room. The objects include 35mm slides in mounts with drawings on them, earrings, cactus flowers and yellow cable ties.

  • Richard Taylor artist and editor. He is obsessed with photographic slides. On the surface of a table, the index finger and thumb of somebody's left hand hold the bottom left of a white 35mm slide mount. The slide itself is an image of a green belt scene: long summer grass in the foreground, clumps of trees in the middle next to walled fields, trees on the horizon along with the beginnings of houses in a town. The sky is blue and is dotted with occasional clouds. The scene is the outskirts of the town called Dronfield, in North East Derbyshire.
    ‘Dronfield Dam’, 35mm slide and slide mount.
  • The round lid of an old Rasperry Jelly tin is marked with oil paint as its previous use was a pallet for an oil painting. On the tin lid is a bright picture, in reds and oranges with a background of green and yellow, of a set jelly. The words Raspberry Jelly sit next to the jelly image. The lid itself it on its side with the text facing out to the left of the image. To the right the tin lid's bottom is stuffed into a lump of clay, which is varnished.

  • Two people wearing coats in an industrial setting, who are focussing their eyes on a small yellow sculpture suspended from the roof. The encounter is very intimate.

  • The bottom of a tree trunk gets lost within ivy, and the ivy creates a bed upon the ground for light to play from the left hand side of the image. Half way up the tree trunk sits a pair of green Converse trainers with white trimmings and white laces. Stuffed into the trainers is clay and various painted wooden ends snapped from a bed frame.
    ‘Radish Journey (memoriam)’, 2024, Converse trainers, clay, painted wooden objects.

Upon a plastered wall is mounted a cluster of objects: a base from an old desktop computer monitor, two colouful head scarves boasting blooms of red, gold, green, blue, black and pink. Furthermore, fitted into the structure of the monitor base, are two clay objects.

A mounted cluster of objects placed upon a badly plastered wall. They include the base of an old desktop computer monitor and two colourful headscarves, which boast blooms of red, gold, green, blue, black and pink. Furthermore, fitted into the structure of the monitor base, are two clay objects: a bent thumb and a penis.

As an artist Richard loves putting together objects like this. They are arrangements that could fall apart at any point. He thinks of them as assembled and precarious offerings, which can be edited at any time. But they also achieve clarity when compiled efficiently. The same thought process goes into his painting practice.

As an editor, Richard strives to get at the same clarity through copy-editing, and sound and video production. After all, everything will fall apart if it is not held together properly. Furthermore, whilst up and tangible, make sure that you enjoy sculpture and installation.
