Taylor Zarkades King is a studio artist and jeweler living and working in Western Massachusetts. Formally trained as a metalsmith her craft based practice sways between a jewelers bench and a studio that finds its form through larger configurations of wood, fiber, print and re-contextualized objects. Her reuse of materials has become an ongoing study in adaptation, coded language, and a queer digestion of belonging, kinship, desire and home. King received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2019 and a BFA from California College of the Arts in 2010. She was a 2013 artist-in-residence with EDITIONBasel at Druckwerks [Basel, Switzerland] and the 2019 artist-in-residence with Quirk Gallery + VisArts Center [Richmond, VA]. Her work has been exhibited in San Fransisco, Oakland, Seattle, Richmond, Chicago, New York, as well as internationally in Basel Switzerland, Oaxaca Mexico, and Beijing China.
