Art Talk with Taylor Barnes | J. Wayne Stark Galleries
Join us for an artist talk with Taylor Barnes, a contemporary fibers artist and ceramicist whose work consists primarily of mixed media fibers techniques and charcoal on cloth.
Heart from the artist and enjoy light refreshments. Barnes’ exhibition, “Vessels of Devotion,” will be on display in the J. Wayne Stark Galleries Sept. 25–Dec. 13, 2025.
Barnes’ work takes on subjects of spirituality, oral histories, power, and bell hooks philosophies testing the object/subject divide. Her figures are to be understood as her spiritual guides unbound by time. Her objects contain undeniable presences as activation of the inanimate is at the core of her practice. All this, guiding her to construct spaces in which their truths are revealed.
