Mellony Taper’s interdisciplinary practice sits somewhere at the intersection of trad and new media. Often working with digital photography as a raw material, she works outside any single ‘maker definition’, making works that don’t much care about accepted definitions of photography, drawing, moving image or sculpture. Taper creates across all these mediums, often fusing them during the making process. She is interested in how digitally created art manifests itself in the world, and has identified a subtext in her practice that calls out value judgements and prejudices about how digital art is made.
