About

Talia Tax is an artist currently at the Appalachian Center for Craft as the Metals Artist-in-Residence.

They collect techniques and ways of making to create sculptural objects that pick at the threads of contemporary American society and gender norms. Using metal and found objects, Talia examines the concepts of safety and authenticity through a queer lens.

After graduating from Yale University with a B.A. in Computing and the Arts, Talia completed Penland School of Craft’s 3D Studio Internship. Previous experiences include workshop instructor and artist-in-residence at Salem Art Works, and designing, building, and operating an iron-casting furnace for the 2023 NCCCIAP Student Cupola Conference. Their work has been featured in regional and national exhibitions including at the Appalachian Center for Craft, Penland, Sloss Furnaces, Carnegie Mellon University, and Yale University.
