Angus Taylor is a South African sculptor known for tackling large-scale sculptures out of unconventional materials like slate and rammed earth. He constructs abstract forms that allude to the human figure without depicting it directly, and references traditional crafting techniques in a contemporary style. Examples of his major works include a slate sculpture at Apple's headquarters in Johannesburg and two permanent slate installations in Canada and Cape Town utilizing the material in gigantic proportions at landscape scales.
