Shefon N. Taylor is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice investigates how absence behaves as both language and material. Working across collage, assemblage and sculptural form, she builds compositions that explore the fragment as a site of meaning — precarious, deliberate and alive with what refuses to be made whole.

Through a process she calls archival abstraction, Taylor examines how memory endures through rupture. Her interventions in public and private archives are a negotiation between visibility and concealment, between presence and its afterimage. Her works privilege ambiguity and quiet refusal, inviting viewers to dwell in what resists resolution and to consider how histories are both held and unsettled through material gesture.

She is a 2026 Stove Works Artist in Residence and was formerly an Artist Research Fellow at the Winterthur Museum and Artist-in-Residence with The Delaware Contemporary.
