Resting, 2011

Patrick Martinez: So like I'm visiting friends. But there's also undertones that, in the background, there's a correctional facility right?.

Narrator: Artist Patrick Martinez talks about Resting, which includes portraits of Taylor’s niece and nephew.

Patrick Martinez: His choice is to create this comfortable, inviting kind of home with two figures sitting on a comfortable looking sofa and pair it with something hard. It pulls you in places that make you feel not comfortable. It's a small detail in the background, so you could miss it. But once you, upon closer kind of investigation, you're seeing “warning shots not required.” That's something that's a real thing spray-painted on walls with stencils, in prison on walls.

Narrator: If you look on the table in front of Taylor’s relatives, you’ll also see Canteen Correctional Service forms. Family members fill these out in order to authorize items inmates can purchase at the commissary.

Patrick Martinez: So you have to look closely and you'll see the details. And how he can pull you in with this warmth and then just kind of hit you with reality.
