What does it mean to be labelled as ‘other’? And how do we reconcile ‘otherness’ and celebrate its existence, in a culture which stigmatises it? Through colourful and whimsical imagery, Taylor combines photography and ceramic sculpture in a body of work which chronicles his existence as a gay transgender man and the fallout associated with confronting heteronormative masculinity.
