“Time-based artist Jill Taffet draws inspiration from science and the natural world. She makes both large-scale installations and intimate objects that utilize technology to investigate how we look at and interact with art. Taffet’s augmented reality, motion paintings and animated gifs demonstrate her unique visual lexicon. Hand-drawn biomorphic forms shift, transform, appear, and re-appear, thus creating a sense of wonderment for the viewer. “Universal Common Ancestors”, a recent a recent work, incorporates a found arched window frame. In place or glass panes, Taffet’s animations fill the space. Her Technicolor palette is reminiscent of stained glass and encourages the viewer to engage with the work as an interactive and contemplative object.”
