So meaningful, especially on this important Election Day. Beautiful photography, speaks to us.

Andy--your personal witnessing for both Taylor and for the election today is appreciated. And necessary. Never has the need to speak up, whether about art or politics or some 'other', been greater. I look forward to seeing you bring more strong image-makers to Madison, and to further these conversations.

Rashod’s photos are powerful and intense. I hope the vote goes the Democrat way today. The world is watching with bated breath.

I got the chance to meet him and converse with him about my work and he was so helpful and funny! I love meeting photographers and noticing that most of the time, their personalities don’t match the nature of their photographs. He was so bright and didn’t make everything too serious when he spoke to my class about photography and his triumphs✨

That's great! Rashod is a lovely person. We've become friends over the past few years, and I agree he has a very warm personality. He's a super talented guy.

Well said Andy. Our collective anxiety is mixed with hope for new possibilities. Rashod Taylor’s body of work compels us to view America’s past and experience the discomfort with hope for the future.

These photos are gut-wrenchingly powerful.

I, too, am frightened for the future of our country.
