Warren County transplant Lynne Talbot-Taylor’s artistic works are being featured in a solo show at the Cannon County Arts Center. A meet-the-artist reception will be held this Saturday, June 10 at the center from 4 – 6 p.m.
Talbot-Taylor and her basketmaker husband, Eric, moved to Warren County from New Hampshire four years ago. They work as self-employed artists and look forward to meeting people and sharing their art.
“Tangled Inversus” features both Talbot-Taylor’s complex abstract geometrical style paintings along with programmed composites centering on her unique existence, since birth, living with an unseen chronic syndrome for five decades. 
Her condition, situs inversus, is an uncommon condition in which the heart and other organs of the body are transposed to lie on the opposite side from the usual. In the digital portion of “Tangled Inversus,” she explores a deconstruction of her paintings and radiographs that beckon the viewer to see a medical image as an alluring art form.
Many of her paintings feature collaged elements that are torn from drawings, screen prints, sketches and paintings which represent the conception of the continuum of the personal secrets and the public appearance, as told through her colors, shapes, strokes and x-rays woven and intertwined, mixed and embedded. The finished product reveals inceptive cold, clinical images as being alive with color and interaction, evolving into depictions of the inherent unstable beauty beneath. 
The show is presented in the Berger Gallery through July 20. Talbot-Taylor’s works can be viewed at talbottaylor.com.
