husband and wife team

taylor & connor robinson are Charleston,sc-based artists operating under the moniker visceral home.

Our art is an alternative to self-destruction; it is our chosen medium for self-preservation. Through gemstone-infused concrete and plaster paintings, we narrate resilience—both stone and artist slowly metamorphosing after enduring prolonged periods of darkness, pressure, and tension. Threads of tender wool pierce our linen canvases, intertwining the tragic landmarks of our past with the grit of our present. Through abstraction and inscribed biographies, we commemorate our recovery journey.

We handcraft our work to construct empathetic dialogues between art, audience, and the hearth of home—a sanctuary for self-exploration and rejuvenating solitude. We forage and process earthen materials, creating calming hues in a variety of natural tones and textures. Weaving all the various versions of ourselves together, we encase them in wooden homes of their own. By marrying mediums not commonly fused together, we echo the cadence of diversity, catalyzing balance.

Our collaborative approach to life and art embodies the transformative power of fostering genuine connections, cultivating empathy, breaking down barriers, and rebuilding trust within relationships.

HOW

Our artistic journey, both collaborative and individual, explores the dynamic interplay of contrasting natural earth compounds and structural elements. We integrate and expand upon materials such as plaster, concrete, foraged rock pigments, clay, exotic wood, driftwood, embroidered and hanging hand-spun yarn, wool, leather, hand-ground powdered healing crystals, iron, gemstone minerals, ground shells, ink, oil, rust, sand, and stone.

Together, we brainstorm and inspire each other to confront uncertainty, continuously evolving our original conceptual designs. Connor initiates the process by meticulously constructing and stretching canvases using materials like linen, wood, or metal. His skill extends to creating unique wooden sculptures that blend a diverse array of materials and techniques. Taylor then brings these canvases to life, painting, texturing, embroidering, and detailing each piece with care and precision. To complete the process, each painting is encased in one of Connor’s handcrafted frames, employing various wood species and advanced woodworking techniques to create a fitting home for the artwork.

Our goal is to honor and amplify each other’s contributions, seamlessly merging our individual strengths into a cohesive whole. We tackle uncomfortable and often overlooked conversations, utilizing abstract expressionism as a metaphor to convey our messages. Our work embodies vulnerability, offering viewers a raw, honest experience that encourages authentic dialogue. Through this process, we aim to stimulate meaningful connections and provoke deep reflection, using art as a bridge to understanding and empathy.

WHY

We draw deep inspiration from the intricacies of the human condition and the profound impact of design and art on our everyday lives. We are fascinated by how the smallest details within a home can dramatically alter one's mood and well-being. Our creative process is fueled by the desire to craft artwork that emanates calming waves of comfort, inviting viewers to pause, be present, and absorb the rich, textural narratives embedded in our pieces.

Our passion lies in evoking a visceral response from our audience—an emotional experience that transcends words. Our art is designed to provoke a deep, physical reaction, resonating with the viewer in a way that is both intimate and indescribable. The name "Visceral Home" was born from the feedback we received, as countless individuals shared that our art moved them in ways they couldn’t articulate, evoking emotions that they could feel within their very core.

Through my personal journey of healing from childhood trauma, I’ve discovered the significance of those nameless feelings. They are the subtle yet powerful signals that our bodies use to communicate the unhealed parts of our past. By delving into these unnamed emotions, we can uncover the roots of our immediate reactions and begin the essential work of healing. Our art aims to facilitate this introspection, providing a sanctuary for self-discovery and emotional growth. Each piece is a testament to the transformative power of acknowledging and embracing the complex spectrum of human emotions.
