Almost Alice:
New Illustrations of Wonderland by Maggie Taylor

Organized by the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art
University of Florida, Gainesville, Tom Southall, Curator


In recent years Maggie Taylor has emerged as one of the most accomplished and innovative masters of digital imaging processes. Almost Alice will be her first one-person museum exhibition and our planned national tour promises to bring new attention to this important talent.

Taylor’s composite images give fresh insight as a new set of illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Using sources ranging from snapshots to 19th-century daguerreotypes and tintypes, she constructs fantastic, surreal narratives. Although richly colored and dream-like in appearance, her use of photographic sources and digital manipulation retains a sense of the original photographic veracity, thus adding to the images’ surreal power. Her digital transformations bring out the fantasy and fantastic that is at the heart of Carroll’s playfully ironic writi

Like Carroll’s beloved story, Taylor’s photographic prints have the potential to engage imaginative minds of all ages, delighting adults as much as children. Additionally, her inventive combination of digital processes and older sources provides inspiration to contemporary artists and photographers pushing the boundaries of new media.

Maggie Taylor is gaining increased national and international recognition as demonstrated by the recent publication of Landscape of Dreams (2006) and Solutions Beginning with A (2007). She has had numerous one-person gallery exhibitions in the U.S. and this year is featured with her husband, Jerry Uelsmann, in two joint shows in Seoul and Beijing.
