Taelor Fisher
(b. 1990, Dallas, TX)
Taelor Fisher is a mixed media artist whose work seamlessly connects visual art with library sciences. Holding a B.A. in Art History from Southern Methodist University, Taelor’s practice explores the intersection of book arts and fine arts, reflecting a deep commitment to serving others through creativity and education.
From a distance, Fisher’s vibrant, patterned pieces might appear as intricate textiles, but up close, they reveal a rich tapestry of materials and textures. Her work often incorporates pages from books, using them as a metaphorical foundation that bridges the gap between artistic expression and the structured world of library sciences. Just as book pages hold stories and knowledge, Fisher's art layers and weaves these elements to create immersive, textured narratives that resonate with the themes of knowledge and preservation.
Her fiber-inspired creations frequently utilize recycled and readily available materials, reflecting both the resourcefulness inherent in everyday life and her dedication to sustainable practices. The use of paper in her work serves as a poignant symbol of the connection between the tactile and the intellectual, highlighting how the physicality of book pages can transform into powerful artistic statements.
Fisher’s artistic process is a testament to time, labor, and ingenuity, creating works that are not only visually compelling but also foster a deeper understanding of the connections between art, literature, and community service. Her work stands as a sanctuary of creative exploration and educational engagement, aiming to inspire and empower through innovative art.
In addition to her studio practice, Taelor is passionate about guiding others on their creative and professional paths. She is currently pursuing a Masters in Library Science to integrate her artistic vision with her growing knowledge of library science and book arts.
