J Glenn Taylor
STATEMENT
Verily, mine labors hath ever been of self-portraits, of psyche and soul, in manner both emotional and spiritual, as if in deep meditation or enchantment—aye, self-portraits woven into an offering for the divine. As snapshots of ballads sung to the elements’ core, as they clash upon the path of life, my work hath steadfastly revolved. In sooth, this aspect hath remained unchanged, for it is the very essence of mine life’s toil—a symphonic trail of breadcrumbs leading toward God and back again, a prayer incarnate!
