Digital Artist Charlotte Taylor On Intriguing Viewers With Utopian Surrealist Spaces

You seem to pursue a utopian vision. Is this a form of escapism for you? What reaction do you seek from the viewers?

In a way it is a form of escapism; designing without constraints and letting my imagination run wild. I never have a reaction in mind that I wish to trigger with my work, I enjoy it to have an open-ended response; a source of curiosity, comfort, escapism, or another interpretation.

Can you tell us about the brief for ‘The Residency in Joshua Tree’ with Madrid-based architect Alba de la Fuente, what were you setting out to achieve?

The Residency house was a concept designing a live-work space in a remote location inspired by the Judd foundation. The project itself didn’t have a goal as such, it was more crafting an ideal space in which we would dream to undertake a residency at.

Your recent work is moving more and more towards inhabitable architecture, showcasing the beautiful and endless possibilities of design. Do your rendered visuals introduce the future of what interiors could entail?

The studios move towards more tangible and habitable spaces coincides with my personal practice which is edging towards physical space and interiors. Some of the ideas and design details from the rendered projects will hopefully start making a concrete appearance soon.
