Bio

Originally from the UK, photographer and artist Sal Taylor Kydd earned her BA in Modern Languages from Manchester University and has an MFA in Photography from Maine Media College. Her photographs have been exhibited throughout the country and internationally, including New York,  Boston, Los Angeles, Mexico and Spain. Sal’s  work draws strongly on the landscape, focusing on her home, family and herself in conversation with the natural world. She focuses on the photographic object, the print, and her books to explore themes of memory and personal history. 

Sal is also a writer and poet, and has self-published a number of books combining her poetry with her photographs. Her books are in numerous private and museum collections throughout the country including The Getty Museum and in the Maine Women Writer’s Collection at the University of  New England. 

Sal’s latest book is Landfall, a limited edition book of poems and photographs about the islands off the coast of Maine. Landfall explores how our landscapes are embed with memory. Video: The making of Landfall.

"My work draws strongly on the landscape, focusing on my home, family and myself in conversation with the natural world.  I am often attracted to the objects and artifacts that we surround ourselves with, as memory-laden emblems of our history and signifiers of time passing. I look to understand how a sense of place can be embedded with personal history."
