Shefon N. Taylor (b. 1988) is an interdisciplinary artist concerned with rememory, the shaping of interiority, and the intimate pursuit of belonging.

While working across multiple mediums, her choice of collage as a primary medium is a fascination with its impulse, delicacy, and compromise. Central to Taylor’s artistic vision is Toni Morrison’s concept of rememory, “as in recollection and remembering as in reassembling the members of the body, the family and the population of the past.”

Taylor’s work investigates what happens when we attempt to conjure a rememory after an encounter with the haptic repository that is the archive. Her approach situates the public and private archives as a juxtaposed, fragmented self  —the practice, a metaphor for how we interface and search the other, to seek wholeness.

Shefon is an alumna of the artist-in-residence program with The Delaware Contemporary Museum and a current Artist Research Fellow with the Winterthur Museum in Delaware focusing on the impact of physical interiors on inner life by studying 18th-century scrapbook houses.
