Tyler Goldflower is a multidisciplinary sculptural photographic artist. Her work celebrates the human body as a vessel of myth and an instrument of creative expression. Goldflower creates modern archetypal portraits and tableaus immersing viewers in a liminal realm somewhere between fantasy and physical reality. These images evoke the individual and collective spirit of her participants as well as the universal characteristics they embody. For Goldflower, creating art is a ritual process of immersive connection with the elements, the environment and each other, in order to pull forth something sacred and divine. These tableaus become reminiscent of master paintings, biblical scenes, ancient deities and rituals of transformation.
Her creative process is defined by constant experimentation with materiality & the human body. The image making process incorporates various elements such as clay, textiles, flowers and other natural fibers. These incorporated mediums remain present throughout the work’s creation, printing on unique surfaces such as metal, textiles, and ceramics.
Trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Goldflower has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Art Basel Miami, and Mexico.
