克里斯蒂娜·李·泰勒/美国

在《人类的傲慢》中，克里斯蒂娜·李·泰勒通过使用多种不同的图解、符号和图形，创造了一种能代表傲慢的松散叙事的组合。我的目的是让观众能够在这些作品中创造他们自己的对话。克里斯蒂娜故意使用让人不安的模糊的类人形象，它们给人一种灵性/感性的认识。这整个系列中，她使用了自己在中国、欧洲和她自己的家乡美国旅行所收集的古典和现代的形象。

 克里斯蒂娜对人类的神秘主义倾向很感兴趣。她的作品结合了历史和全球的图像、符号和形象。她使用了包含已知的象征符号、文化参照物的不同的媒介和形式，来代表不同的时代区间，最终创造出一种可识别的符号。

 克里斯蒂娜对通过视觉符号和象征来探索历史上的人类身份认知很感兴趣。她研究那些能够代表特定区域、宗教、阶级、家庭关系和政党的符号和形象。同时，她也使用那些没有任何属性、和任何群体都没有联系的晦暗的符号。通过这些形象和将过去与现在连接起来的方式，她创造了一种探索未知世界的感知和直观形象。

Title of show: Human Presumptions (works on paper)

Artist Statement: In Human Presumptions, Christine Lee Tyler uses various iconography, symbols and patterns to create a composition that has a loose-based narrative that may be reduced to presumption. The intent is to allow the viewer to create their own dialogue in all of these works. Christine purposely uses haunting and vague human-like forms that can be perceived as spiritual and/or emotional. Throughout this series, she utilizes ancient and modern imagery that is derived from places she has visited in China, Europe and her home, the United States.

Christine is engaged in the mystical aspects of humankind. Her work combines historical and globalized pictorials, markings and iconography. She uses various media and patterns that contain recognized symbolism, cultural reference and represent disparate time periods to create an identifiable semiotic.

Christine holds an interest in exploring the history of human identity through visuals and symbols. She researches images that can be identified with a certain territory, religion, class, family relation and/or political party. Conjointly she works with iconography that have no affiliations or are obscure and can be related to any given group. She creates a sense a visual exploration of the unknown by working with such imagery and bridging the ancient to the modern.
