    Jalen Taylor  

      

    Jalen Taylor, a multi-hyphenate artisan, channels her artistic prowess through the medium of collage and poetry, transforming it into a therapeutic journey that delves into the unconscious for profound healing. As a passionate artisan, Jalen uses her artwork to navigate the intricate layers of her identity as a Christian black queer woman. Through this expressive process, she uncovers the intricacies of self, addressing generational habits that have been both institutionally and socially imposed upon her and her lineage.  Jalen weaves together threads of resilience, creativity, and introspection, offering a unique perspective on the transformative power of poetry in the realm of self-discovery and healing. Subsequently, she takes a moment with the collage to craft poems that articulate the revelations within her work.
