My soul loves a good surprise. My life is a journey of my love. After college I abandoned illustration to wash dishes at a 5 star restaurant. (I was a poor salesman with a very refined palate) I made zines and hosted events to cure midwestern boredom. I fell in love. It didn't work out. I screamed in a metal band. Hiked across America. I shared paintings and photography to poetically share my transformations and journeys. I biked across the Himalayas and my heart broke for the worlds lack of vision and creativity in the margins. I now live in the middle of America where the concrete weeds are overgrown and still spreading. In the cracks there is new life and unexpected community. The greatest surprise so far was to find sustainability near desolation and creativity in emptiness. I can’t wait for a better world to crash into this one so I’m attempting to make the most of what is most proximate.

wham. bam. thank you mam. I’m showing a series I started in Nepal that were packed,lost and forgotten until recently. I finished them this past season at BNIM. There will be an installation of the croppings from the “wholes” show along with some photos, notes and reflections from Asia.

Caleb Taylor’s work shows much of his paintings history through the bursting sections that avoided being concealed by his process. Caleb has been a busy man this season as he launched a new gallery called Plug down in the West Bottoms. Keep your ears to the ground. ciao for now.
