Join Cozad (Terry) Taylor for a thought-provoking artist talk, “Turning Points,” where he reflects on his artistic journey and shares personal insights into the intersections of faith, art, and interfaith collaboration.
Taylor will explore how pivotal moments in his life have shaped his artistic vision and how art can become a force for greater understanding and peace. From personal stories to broader reflections, Taylor will conclude with an inspiring vision for the future of interfaith art and peacemaking. Learn how his work continues to inspire others to embrace spirituality, connection, and cooperation across faiths.
This is a unique opportunity to engage with the artist and gain deeper insight into the meaning behind his exhibit, “Sublimations.” Admission is free, and all are welcome.
Artist Statement
Cozad (Terry) Taylor, a photographer, artist, writer, and interfaith leader, presents “Sublimations”; a retrospective that spans both his artistic journey and his decades-long efforts, as Executive Director of Louisville-based Interfaith Paths to Peace, to improve understanding among members of the world’s great religions.
“Sublimations” will be exhibited January 16, 2025 through February 28, 2025, in the Mary Anderson Gallery at Mount St. Francis in Floyds Knobs, Indiana. An opening reception will be held at 6:30 pm on Thursday, January 16. Mr. Taylor will present an artist’s talk in the gallery on February 6, 2025, at 6;30 pm.
“Sublimations” will comprise nearly 40 of Taylor’s photographs, as well as samples of his 3-D art, including a ransom note quilt, a cyanotype kimono, a Lego portrait, and an 18-foot-long watercolor painting.
A key component of “Sublimations” will be a few examples taken from what the artist refers to as his “Ephemera.” These are small, colorful, pieces of art that he has been producing every morning for 9 ½ years. The Ephemera now total more than 3,500.
This exhibit invites viewers to explore the intersection of art, technology, spirituality, and peace, where the boundaries of visual representation and personal transformation meld into a harmonious whole. The title, “Sublimations”, itself holds a dual meaning. It refers both to the technical process by which Taylor’s photographs—captured using an iPhone—are printed into (not onto) metal, and to the transformative quality of using creativity to find deeper meaning in everyday experiences.
Over the years, Taylor has shared his creative vision through solo exhibits at the University of Louisville, Bardstown Gallery on the Square, and numerous other art venues throughout the region.
