Brian Taylor creates photographically illustrated books springing from his fascination with the book format and a love of texture in art. Taylor's imagery is inspired by the surreal and poetic moments of living in our fast-paced, modern world. Taylor is interested in how daily life presents us with incredible experiences in such regularity that we no longer differentiate what is natural and what is colored with magic, implausibility,humor, and irony.

In this digital age of electronic prints and service bureaus, Taylor savors the tactile pleasures of making art by hand; he believes that certain works of art created by a human touch can contain a resonance of that touch: a discernable aura.
