Jennie Taylor is a fiction and art writer. She has published her work in Critical Bastards Magazine, The Stinging Fly, Visual Arts Newsletter, and Paper Visual Art. Her practice draws from particle physics, auto theory, and micro-histories. She writes fictional narratives about the material properties of art objects and situations. Through the use of art writing, fictioning, and speculative storytelling, she troubles existing histories and dominant identities. Her practice builds a mosaic of textual gestures that take up space in subtle and effective ways, acting as microscopic and lasting forms.
