The series of paintings, Escape Route; Plunging Through Flatness and The Forest Dream (2024), all began with repeat screen-prints of details from Gustav Dore’s illustrations for Dante Alghieri’s, Divine Comedy. The mid 19th century original, Göttliche Komödie, comprising two volumes of highly intricate woodblock prints were reproduced by Dover in 1976. This modern version is subjected to another form of reproduction, in which Taylor scans, zooms, selects and crops areas of clouds and rock formations, to then enlarge and screen-print. This same process of reproducing reproductions across various histories is applied to other books and ephemera in the artists’ collection- from botanical guides and taxonomies to photocopier alignment pages and graph papers.
