Mellony Taper © Mellony Taper ARTIST STATEMENT: “Bigger truths can be revealed in the telling of small stories. I am interested in the everyday, the unremarked and unrecorded, and in domestic narratives that span generations, class and circumstance. My narratives are very much a female perspective: daughters, mothers and sisters. I like the idea of the hidden histories that vintage domestic objects carry with them. I want these works to feel like inherited objects, domestic relics. I use them to present fragments of real or reimagined histories: giving hints of lives that are both familiar and strange. They are deliberately incomplete records and imperfect navigations of the ever-shifting perceptions of memory, time and experience.” MELLONY TAPER: ‘ALL THIS USELESS BEAUTY’ 16 May – 27 June: Thelma Hulbert Gallery, Dowell Street, HONITON, EX14 1LX.
