Toby Taylor
The Coconuts
Resident artist
Toby is a mixed media artist who is deeply concerned with environmental impact. Using cheap and reusable materials he makes work in an ecologically-sensitive manner, aiming to maximise biodegradable viability and potential. Themes of queer identity and natural systems intersect through processes that mirror symbiosis and transformation, revealing hidden parallels between human intimacy and the entangled networks of non-human life.
“Each piece I make is created with the understanding that complete disintegration is an inevitability, decomposing back into the humus and detritus that supports the foundation of our numerous natural systems.”
