News Emilie Taylor finishes “God’s Architects”
Zachary Godshall and Adjunct Instructor Emilie Taylor have recently finished up a documentary called “God’s Architects”. The film focuses on five different self-taught builders and their unique creations. Folk artists of the built environment, these builders have dedicated decades to building colorful spires, Dixie Cup Castles, and paint covered mountains as a matter of faith and singular vision. These artists create backyard worlds which challenge our ideas of architecture, the effects of training on creativity, and man’s relationship with God.
God’s Architects is an expansion of the research Emilie Taylor began through a TSA traveling fellowship in the summer of 2005, and is being supported by the Dean’s Faculty Enhancement Fund.
The documentary is scheduled to be presented in full at the Pop Culture Association’s National Conference.
The screening is coming up soon - April 9th, 4:30 at the New Orleans Marriott
