Simon Olding meets Emilie Taylor

Perhaps it is not so much of a surprise to meet with Emilie Taylor, Sheffield-city-rooted, in the medieval Abbey Barn in Somerset.

Artists

SAW’s vision is for Somerset to be a place where people expect to engage with excellent visual art that is surprising and distinctive.

Somerset Art Weeks are an annual celebration of the variety and quality of contemporary art in Somerset. The annual event alternates between Open Studios and Festival Year.

Learning
