Chloe Rose Taylor
Chloe Rose Taylor is a multidisciplinary object artist based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Taylor holds a BA in Applied Arts – Textiles from Ara Institute (2009) and a BA in Contemporary Jewellery from Whitireia (2013). She has exhibited in public galleries throughout Aotearoa and abroad, including significant solo presentations at Objectspace (2016) and Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery (2015).
Taylor’s work takes the form of contemporary jewellery, textile objects, and furniture, as well as carefully assembled and photographed still life arrangements. Her practice is one of connection, often centred around found materials and forms that speak to her. Sometimes these materials are manipulated, formed and set. Sometimes they are perfect ready-mades just as they are. She likes to push boundaries with her material choices, ever questioning ideas of what is considered precious or valuable.
Taylor’s expressive language of object-craft is amplified by her metalworking skills. Hammered and patinated surfaces encourage close inspection; imaginative furnishings and expanded gallery settings transform the architecture of the exhibition space and give the sense of a wider world to her creativity.
In addition to vases, furniture and multi-media object art, Chloe Rose Taylor’s jewellery work features ongoing earring collection ‘Cave Drawings’. This series uses a line-art visual language with playful titles, reflecting what she has been pondering. Inspired by the 1994 film adaptation of The Flintstones, much of Taylor’s personal aesthetic is a tribute to palaeolithic, stone- age forms, recast in a humorous light.
