By incorporating a variety of processes and an interest in the sensations of touch and gesture, Fraser Taylor explores the complicated vocabulary of modern abstraction. His elegiac orbs of collaged fabric and tar-like surfaces move fluidly between invocations of landscape, architecture and cellular compositions. The resulting painterly installations, sequential drawings and animations are pictorial representation of psychic spaces and abstracted histories.
