Rock Lobster is a contemplation of the aquatic.
“I daydream while I work. About frisky utopias where space lizards chew bubblegum while drowning in glitter. Colour is my cosmic junkyard, I harness the subtle subconscious language it radiates- to express a mischievous futurism. My making process has its own flow of consciousness. I search for a considered shape – a crystal, a nicely-formed piece of coral, the texture of lobster shell. These shapes are cast in silicon mould, then filled with dyed, opaque resins. At the perfect meeting-point of pattern, form and colour I find balance and silence.”
Chloe Rose Taylor is originally from Christchurch. She relocated to Wellington in 2011 to complete a Bachelor of Applied Arts, majoring in contemporary jewellery at Whitireia New Zealand Faculty of Arts. Since graduating in 2013 Chloe has exhibited in group and solo shows, and she was invited to take part in the “Best In Show” at Objectspace, Auckland. She was also a finalist in The Dowse Student Craft Awards in 2014.
