Delaware Division of the Arts | Department of State | Mezzanine Gallery | New Castle County | Newsroom | Date Posted: Thursday, May 1, 2025

In The Fragment Holds More Than the Whole, Taylor uses found vintage magazine and book imagery, tracing paper, and thread to reframe our understanding of archives, memory, and identity.

Each piece becomes an act of negotiation—inviting viewers to confront the spaces between what is seen and unseen, remembered and forgotten, complete and incomplete.
