Work Experience
MoPop Piano, Exhibition
July 2017
Ten artists, including Taylor, were chosen to paint scenes on pianos donated to the music festival. They had a few days to work on the pianos before they were placed along the riverfront for the patrons of the festival to admire and play. Taylor's piano introduced life and death existing together and thriving-- A skeleton shows off a devilish grin as the hands of the skeleton are placed in an open position allowing for the plants surrounding to spread their growth.
