My little mincers could be famous…
I have been selling my collection of mincers on ebay in dribs and drabs. When we moved I discovered we had 54 of them! I have wittled them down to a more managable 10, so now the rest are going. One of the people who has bought, so far 3, mincers, is Jenny Taylor, who will be exhibiting at the Wyer Gallery in february. So should you be around St John’s Hill, London, do pop in, and if you see a mincer incorporated into Taylor’s eleborate interiors, it could once have been mine 
.
Taylor creates elaborate interiors that at times exude a baroque sensuality and at others resemble Heath Robinson contraptions, out of control kitchens or ‘mad professor’ laboratories. Investigating the visual world around us, she uses an ever-expanding array of materials that it would be impossible to catalogue. She makes use of different viewing spaces and apertures to challenge her medium and plays with the language of sculpture by using familiar domestic objects, such as mincers, juicers, vacuum cleaner hoses or washing machine extractors. Within her installations, these objects transcend their original functions as they are transformed into absurd instruments with bizarre or dark tasks to perform and small interactions between objects become excessive and almost farcical.
