Trenton Baylor:
My work is inspired by the young seedlings growing
in the backyard and is a reflection of my interest in machinery.
I developed a love of nature while helping my mother in her
garden as a young boy and I am certain that the many trips
South in the passenger seat of my father’s semi-truck
account for my interest in machinery. It has been these experiences
throughout the years that have become the theme and formal
aesthetic of my art. As an aesthetic element, nature is alluded
to in the surface coloration, form, organic transitions, and
natural materials. In contrast, the use of machine-made parts,
polished surfaces, steel, aluminum, and hard edges connote
the mechanical. In combination these two opposing forces fight
and compliment each other in a way that requires a delicate
balance. I anticipate working toward this balance for years
to come.
