‘The older I get, the more I appreciate teenagers. Rihanna and Erika, my nieces, are the epitome of teenagers in 2024. Their authenticity, naivety, exploration. The many “firsts”, untainted. The paralax between being comfortable and uncomfortable within themselves. The complex relationships. These challenges form their own identity.’
Juliet Taylor is an artist based on Gadigal Country in Sydney who sources her inspiration in unlikely places – from Miroslav Tichý to Charles Bukowski, Le Corbusier to Sébastien Tellier.
