Taylor Kibby (b.1992) is a sculptor and ceramic artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Her work meditates on ideas surrounding memory, identity, and change. Through craft materials such as clay, glass beads, and textiles she creates objects that straddle the boundaries between ideas and forms. The work is both hard and soft, fluid and static, open and closed, known and unknown. These sculptures seek to engage with the idea that change is a constant and what we understand as true is fallible and always moving. She is curious how the narratives around selfhood shift and stretch as we balance protection and vulnerability. Kibby often gravitates towards processes that highlight labor and demand care. She believes that touch, and the making process, is a time for thinking through making. The work makes physical her own deeply personal mythologies discovered through their creation. Kibby’s work often references the body and the feminine, two ideas she is constantly navigating her own relationship with. The intensive repetition of making leaves irregularities that mark each work with her hand and consider ideas of imperfection, control, and beauty.
