Susie Taylor

About the artist:

Susie Taylor explores geometric abstraction through the tradition of weaving, a process that requires a creative and technical mindset to solve visual and structural puzzles. Inspired by Formalism and The Bauhaus, her compositions use basic shapes like blocks and stripes to address pattern, symmetry, and color interaction, as well as the notion that ordered systems can still flirt with chance, interruption, and improvisation.  

Susie Taylor received her BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and MFA from UCLA. She later earned a Certificate of Excellence (Level 1 Handweaving) from The Handweavers Guild of America. She lives and works in Rochester, NY.
