Strata & Cipher: Barbara Manger and Richard Taylor

"Strata & Cipher: Barbara Manger and Richard Taylor" (2017) brought together two artists who work closely with color and layering, and have developed a process-oriented studio practice that transforms surprising source materials into metaphors for their experiences. Manger uses monoprinting techniques to create richly composed images that reference the textures of moving waterways, and Taylor collects found materials to inform his use of shape, color, and surface, creating sculptures reminiscent of weathered urban artifacts. The exhibition placed special emphasis on the artists’ practices – their ideation, material explorations, and craft.
