Silvia Taylor
Ogee Polysemy
Gallery Box - 26 Lakeshore Ave, Ward’s Island, Toronto Islands
Silvia creates both functional and sculptural objects; working in handblown glass and metals. She also creates jewellery and this exhibition showcases sculptural jewel-like objects. Ogee refers to objects, elements and curves often found in architecture displaying a serpentine form. Polysemy is to have multiple meanings. These sculptures play with transparency and the opaque while also illuminating the luminosity of all materials. The fragility and light of glass; the weight and power of different metals are juxtaposed. Together they evoke past traditions of ornament as well as material transformation through fire.
