Notable Quotes

My work is drawn to the political but avoids an agenda. There is no inherent critique or support.

From Taryn Simon

The majority of my work is about preparation.

From Taryn Simon

I'm interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers - or sometimes multiple answers. It's here that I try to imagine patterns or codes to make sense of the unknowns that keep us up at night. I'm also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation.
