TAYLOE PIGGOTT GALLERY is pleased to present standing / facing, a solo exhibition of work by Austin based artist w. tucker on view April 14th through May 28th 2023. As of late, W. Tucker has found the question "How do we not kick and scream through life?" replaying in his head. In this body of multimedia drawings, paintings and sculptures, Tucker offers a solution: standing / facing. This aphorism is an abridged ode to his maxim "standing / accepting / giving time / letting it float." This step-by-step apothegm is Tucker's method of not only dealing with situations and thoughts, but also a freeing way of being in the world. When discussing the title of this exhibition, Tucker wrote, "I feel it's the only thing we can really do in life- stand and face what's in front of us. In a simple (and maybe cliché) way, they are two words that speak about being in the moment. It's the only moment we can truly do anything in."
