    Angie Taylor – artist

    Angie Taylor is a traditionally-trained sculptor who has worked as a digital artist since the 1980’s. 

    Her work explores themes of identity, isolation & otherness – often championing life’s misfits and highlighting the struggles faced by them.

    Her highly-distinctive style is hard to pin down but has been described by some as Punk-Expressionism – a unique mix of punk art, naive art, pop art & expressionistic aesthetics and themes.

    Her work juxtaposes the DIY ethic of punk, fresh immediacy of naĂŻve art & complexity of VR & 3D technology.

    Mad Eyed Screamer

    Come and see the corner speaker
    Come and see his suit drip-dry
    The passers-by have one obsession
    To hear his raving to the sky

    Mad eyed screamer on your knees
    Mad eyed screamer you are not pleased
    With the chatter in the trees
    Your balls are freezing in the breeze

  • Selkie

    Selkie

    The selkie is a mythological changeling from Scottish and Nordic folklore. Selkies are those with condemned souls. They are Fallen angels who spend their lives shape-shifting between humans and seals. Stories about selkies involve questions about love, life & death.

    Legends often feature tales of struggles between good & evil. These stories inspire us to protect the natural world. In this ambiguous sculpture, we are unsure whether the selkie is saving the man from drowning, making love to him, or dragging him to his death.

    The selkie’s calm, upright appearance represents stoic perseverance, determined strength & natural beauty. The man’s expression could be either passionate ecstasy or painful hopelessness.

    This interactive 3D sculpture can be downloaded and used in the metaverse or displayed in 3D galleries. It can also be viewed using AR mode – to place it inside your own environment. Inspired by the art of Edward Fuglø:

    Work on real world projects

    Anyone can follow step-by-step tutorials but we don’t believe that this “watch and follow” technique is the best approach for learning software – it doesn’t cultivate confidence. Our aim is to get you to a stage where you use the software intuitively.

    Angie designs bespoke one-to-one training courses to cover more specific or unusual requirements for those who prefer to concentrate only on specific features of the application?

    All levels of experience are catered for. You can choose from pre-designed training courses that cover all levels of user from beginners to advanced power-users.

    Problem solving

    The best way to master any software application is to go through a process of problem-solving on your own projects. Together, you and your trainer will work out the best approach to get the results you want from the software.

    We can provide purpose-built training files to teach you certain concepts and techniques but we can also work on your own projects if you’re happy to bring them along. If you’re interested in booking the cabin accommodation, training or a package that includes both, please book here.
