Archival pigment prints, 22 × 22 inches.Since 1997 I have been using a flatbed scanner, a computer, and small digital cameras as my primary tools for capturing fragments of reality. I weave these slices of time together digitally to create dreamlike worlds inhabited by everyday objects and slightly out-of-the-ordinary people. I rarely photograph contemporary people—I prefer collecting and recycling nineteenth-century photographs.When I begin to work on an image, I do not have a preconceived idea of the finished work. The images develop slowly, revealing themselves to me over weeks or even months sitting at my desk. This work is meant to be an open-ended, poetic narrative, a mystery to be unraveled by each individual viewer.© 2013 and 2020 by Maggie Taylor.
