Influenced by surrealist Alberto Giacometti and contemporary artists Louise Bourgeois and Magdelana Abakanowicz, Katherine Taylor’s cute but often grotesque bronze creatures have wings, webbed feet, and enlarged appendages. The creatures in this newest work, though small, are given mass by enlarged ears and backbones. Earlier emaciated figures, more similar to Giacometti’s, have transformed into faceless, bodiless creatures as the artist further abstracts the body. Each symbolic of a number, Taylor’s bronze creatures were used by the artist as visual signifiers to learn the Basque language, while she was living in northern Spain. - Erika Myers-Bromwell Director, New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art
