‘Nostalgic in aesthetic and vivid in color palette, the Bay Area artist and textile designer interlaces cotton and linen threads to create flat weaves that appear almost three-dimensional in complexity, with the mathematically-inclined motifs and subtle shifts in color embedded within the pieces themselves.’ Grace Ebert for COLOSSAL Last week to view Susie Taylor’s stunning weaves in ‘Origin Stories’ with Alexi Antoniadis Thurs-Sat 1-5pm @johansson_projects Cotton weaves from the Iconic Series 44”x33” number 6 and 5 #SusieTaylor #weaving #johanssonprojects #bayareaartist #americana #womenartists #colossal #womensupportingwomen (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj8TNnpJyeD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

‘Origin Stories is a graphically adventurous exhibition made up of sculptural and textile works by artists Alexi Antoniadis and Susie Taylor. The exhibition as a whole reflects the artists’ explorations of modernism, memory, and our surrounding environment through the optics of line, pattern, color and abstraction. ‘Origin Stories’ featuring Susie Taylor + Alexi Antoniadis on show thru Oct 15 @johansson_projects in Oakland Thurs-Sat 1-5pm #SusieTaylor #johanssonprojects #weaving #AlexiAntoniadis #steelsculpture #bayareaartist (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJTgQbvzcY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Folia (I) 13” x 10” and Folia (II) 11.75” x 10” 2022 / pastel, charcoal, earth pigments and acrylic on paper by Blaise Rosenthal #blaiserosenthal #johanssonprojects (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDjQl9rHXv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Existing at the intersection of photography and sculpture, my work investigates our wider human experience through light, perception and space. I fabricate reflective tools from bent metal and glass to make new photographic documents through the lumen print process, in which exposures of different light sources are registered on gelatin silver paper. Oscillating between two-dimensional images and three-dimensional objects, my compositions merge organic embodied forms with the natural world, anchoring my place within a universal experience. The photographic figures grow and diminish under sunlight and artificial sources, transforming my space into a recording studio dictated by my own conditions of time. Exploring themes of embodiment and cosmology, my practice integrates the sinuous movement and sensuous contours of light. Curvilinear waves glance off of elliptical arcs in forms which refer to both the otherworldly and the corporeal – astral movements and organic femme bodies; they embrace sensuality inspired by my personal embodiment practice, a intuitive-movement meditation which I use to enhance my senses and relationship with my physical body and surroundings. The color palette, compositions, and time exposures emerge from an intuitive desire to break away from photography's prevailing masculine characteristics: technicality, distance, and control. My work is simultaneously personal and universal, connecting the ever-changing state of light and time with the fluctuations of physical and emotional movement.' - Rachelle Bussières #RachelleBussieres #JohanssonProjects #lumenprints #womenartists #womensupportingwomen (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci-ikPlrmq0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Susie Taylor’s ‘Iconic Stripes’ Series, Cotton weaving 44" x 33" ‘Stripes are basic design elements that most weavers incorporate into their work. Like so many others, I love to experiment with different stripe layouts to see what kind of visual effects are possible. After reading The Devil’s Cloth: A History of Stripes by Michel Pastoureau, I came to appreciate the mostly fraught historical record of striped cloth dating back to before biblical times. I came to see that stripes are not merely decorative afterthoughts but instead hold specific social and/or cultural meanings, particularly in the context of cloth. From that understanding, I began to think about how certain stripe patterns are very identifiable and how people may have strong associations with stripes from advertising, memory, and everyday objects. My objective for Iconic Stripes was to identify a body of recognizable stripe patterns that could be paired together to expand on the formal visual experience of each individual pattern.These works are composed in a simple tessellated block layout. The figure and ground occupy the exact same area so that one does not dominate the other. By keeping the geometry equalized, the stripes take on the role of either being dominant, submissive, or harmonious. The vertical stripes are rendered in warp-faced satin weave and the horizontal stripes in a weft-faced satin weave. This construction allows for a saturation of color without much contamination from the opposing threads. The tidy, wrapped edges capture the overall ambition of precise calculation and disciplined execution.’ - Susie Taylor ‘Origin Stories’ featuring Susie Taylor + Alexi Antoniadis running thru Oct 15 @johansson_projects 1-5pm Thurs-Sat Oakland #SusieTaylor #weaving #johanssonprojects #bayareaartist #americana #womenartists #womensupportingwomen (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiiQeBOpfUC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Susie’s work dissolves the space between art and craft practices, positioning weaving at the core of her exploration of aesthetics. Susie is a Bay Area-based artist, and looks not only to Anni Albers but also Sol Lewitt, Agnes Martin, Frank Stella and Ellsworth Kelly. She studied, worked and continues to create within the lineage of the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College weavers.
