The drawing titled Private practice is a portrait of a figure reminiscent of an Egyptian pharaoh, wearing various necklaces and a form of diadem. Taylor often references characters from classic literature and history, ​​relics of a solid and reassuring past which are now adrift in the uncanny pastiche he creates. The character has a dreamlike, timeless quality as if existing on a different plane of reality. The character defies clear definition, an entity both connected to the other “associates” yet isolated in its idiosyncratic loneliness. The need for hiding behind prosthetics such as a fake nose and spots on the face, is an absurd take on the suburban middle-class upbringing attitude, in which one accumulates external additions as an escapist strategy for hiding from oneself and finding temporary relief from the trivial mundanity of life.
