TAYLOR HOLLAND (b.1971) is an American artist in Paris, France
Utilizing the intricate craftsmanship of frame-making in the context of contemporary art, antique frames are filled with their own content using custom molds built from digital processes.
Fra[mes] is a collaboration between algorithm, artist, and master craftsman, which not only bridges the gap between digital media and old-world craftsmanship, but gives the computer an equal hand in the creative process. (Ongoing)
Holland fills ornate 18th and 19th with reorganized details from their own design, merging the style of art and frame.
