Taylor's aesthetic draws on a repetitive use of media to develop her focus of intangible dreaming scenarios. She utilises 19th century photographs, and found images by scanning these on a flatbed scanner. Combining these scans with other images that she photographs or other objects that she scans Taylor creates layers in Photoshop. The layers are recomposed, combined, and colorised resulting in as as many as 40-60+ layers to create a final image depicting an assortment of random objects that once combined in the one image create a strangely unique and dreamlike perspective of life. Taylor often describes her media as being in between photography and painting. Through her use of matte surface paper with a slight texture, Taylors aesthetic draws the viewer into the work and intentionally makes them succumb to their inner imagination as the media seeks touch.
Taylor's body of work, Almost Alice, evolves around the children's story of Alice in Wonderland, her inspiration for the series. She draws upon the magical aspects of the story to transform it from happy and enchanting to a mysterious almost depressing one. Taylor combines her choice of photographs to captivate the audience as they are drawn in searching for every detail in the image. A powerful example of this is how Taylor's use of blending layers and making them transparent to reveal a palimpsest effect. Her aesthetic emerges as a dream-like state of the image captures a shift in the dream. This is particularly evident in, A Curious Feeling, as the girl having drunk the magical potion shrinks, allowing her to proceed further into the story. Taylor has captured the moment so that the viewer has two options to see the before stage or the after stage, which deliberates the intended purpose for self-discovery that underpins all of her works. By her careful palimpsest techniques, she creates such depth in her artwork that every viewer would seek meaning differently. The curtains create a depressing sense to the image as though it is between gloom and happiness. Taylor has created this by her use of shadowing in the foreground and soft brightness in the background. Like many other pieces of her work, A Curious Feeling, tempts the viewer to merge into it and search the dreams and meaning for themselves. "I don't just make things that are pretty, my images are dreamlike, but not all dreams are good- some are bad, some are funny. I want my images to mean different things to different people, to make viewers feel or imagine something new."
