Taylor grew up in Nevada City, California—a small town nestled in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Growing up in the mountains, she spent much of her childhood outdoors and creating stories. Her art is a form of visual storytelling inspired by interior space and the human figure. Her pieces are a result of the relationship and conversation between form and color.
Wordell’s work takes the viewer away from traditional techniques of quilting, weaving, and sewing and into a world of reinterpreted social relations, gendered spaces and identity through craft and domestic space. Her goal is to highlight the vision of women as active producers of culture.
