Works

The work of Cordell Taylor is deeply rooted in his personal ideal and philosophy. Through his work, Taylor constructs universal relations into personal statements about life, society, and culture. His works relate a sophisticated degree of technical skills and understanding, which give his sculpture the purity and originality necessary to achieve international recognition

Working with architects and designers daily, Taylor creates site-specific commissioned works; one can also draw from his portfolio of original pieces.
