Kiyomi Quinn Taylor (b.1995) is a multimedia artist born and raised in South Orange, New Jersey. Taylor received her BFA from New York University in 2017 and will receive her MFA from Columbia University in 2021. Her work examines her family’s narrative history as well as the iconography of her mixed-race heritage - Black and Japanese. Taylor uses collage and mixed media (painting, drawing, installation, stop-motion animation, performance, and sculpture) to consider ancestral memory and her own inner, emotional life. She currently lives in Harlem. Since vacating her studio at Columbia, she has been working out of her parents’ house in West Orange, New Jersey.
