Tokie Rome-Taylor is based in Atlanta, GA and explores themes of time, spirituality, and identity. Often integrating found objects as artifacts and conduits of memory, her subjects are inserted into the past of an alternate reality, creating the narrative of them being their ancestors in the present for their heirs to see in the future. These ancestors embody power over destiny, representation, and spirit, influencing the viewer as their descendants.
Rome-Taylor is an Honorable Mention recipient for the International Photography Awards (2019)- sponsored by the Lucie Foundation and 2019 Virginia Twinam Smith Award.
Rome-Taylor’s exhibitions including the Masur Museum (LA), Zuckerman Museum of Art (GA), Auburn Research Library (GA), Callanwolde Fine Arts Center (GA) and Alan Avery Selects: APG Gallery Show (GA). Taylor's work is held in private collections as well as by the Fulton County Arts Council, The City of Decatur, Ga. and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Georgia.
