Mind through<br />
Materials<br />
Angus Taylor<br />
‘Throughout the past 25 years I have<br />
come to realise how important<br />
it is for me to deeply engage with<br />
materials and to create artworks<br />
that function as markers or ‘journal<br />
notes’ for me. They remind me of<br />
the many routes I have walked,<br />
physically and mentally, and<br />
the various decisions I have made<br />
throughout my life, both as an artist<br />
and in my personal life.’<br />
Angus is well known for his<br />
powerful, often large, works of<br />
sculpture, characterised by<br />
outstanding craftsmanship and<br />
the use of alternative and natural<br />
materials from his direct<br />
environment.<br />
