College One: Artist Influences: Jason Taylor...

I heard about Jason Taylor's work when he came and did a lecture at my University. Jason Taylor re-uses materials because of the expense of new ones. He believes in increasing the value of the mundane, as simple objects can be turned into something meaningful. He also believes in the ready-made as the material as well as the inspiration. He transforms mundane objects into something else and sometimes they have a function.

Jason Taylor challenged himself to make one object a day using only found objects from around his home. He would then post his results on to his webpage and evaluate it.
