Taylor N. Wilson is a Multi-disciplinary artist from Baltimore, MD. They received a Bachelors of fine arts from Maryland Institute College of Art.  As an artist and poet, they value critical honesty and storytelling as a means of protection. By telling and sharing stories, it can protect people from forces that try to take away their power and by story collecting they’re able to hold onto their legacy, their truth.  Their work was included in the 2020 show “Breathing While Black” at Augusta Savage Gallery in Amherst, Massachusetts. They love rain and being around water. 

Through my work and practice, I narrate my reality through painting, ceramics, film, poetry. Images in my imagination, past memories and experiences, scenes from my dreams to offer a sense of intimacy embedded in a speculative narrative. Story collecting is a great part of my work, they come from stories I’ve seen my whole life, and stories that developed over time. They become encapsulations of an existence  that comes in to form a feeling of belonging to something greater.  My process is usually intuitive, rooted in deep emotions that become formulated through the use of various expressive mark making. I’m very inspired by different genres of music, by having  a particular rhythm in some of the work. I aim to depict a feeling of honesty, in order to  create and hide language through the use of its structure.  During my process,  I’m searching for something and that thing is often peace and freedom. I am to be free, free in creating and with peace I will find freedom.  I’m looking for something, something I don’t have in the present moment or I am looking for the very thing I might have. However, one thing for sure I am searching for something.
