I’m Craig Taylor-Broad, a multidisciplinary artist in the UK.
I work across photography, poetry, and visual art. My practice is driven by curiosity, humour, and a fascination with the spaces where meaning becomes unstable — where things are tender, awkward, absurd, or quietly profound.
Photography forms the backbone of my work. I’m drawn to the fragile, horrifyingly poetic beauty that exists within the human form and the quiet, suffocating tension of the life that encircles it. Flesh, expression, flowers, and stillness are treated with equal weight — all temporary, all exposed, all slowly collapsing under time.
Through my lens the natural world mirrors the body — beautiful, fleeting, and already in the process of undoing itself. The images linger in discomfort rather than explanation, allowing tenderness, absurdity, and unease to coexist. Photography becomes an act of attention to what is most easily ignored — a way of staying with the unsettling long enough for its poetry to surface.
Alongside this, I write blackout poetry — as a way of dismantling and reshaping language. By removing words, rearranging fragments, or allowing chance to guide meaning, I explore how much can be said with very little. The act of erasure becomes one of discovery, revealing hidden narratives and emotional undercurrents within existing texts.
My visual art, under the moniker of Bobby Sprinkles, embraces play, irreverence, and surreal humour. These works resist logic and seriousness, offering nonsense as a valid form of insight. Through absurdity, I’m interested in loosening our attachment to certainty and inviting joy, discomfort, or simple amusement to coexist.
This website is a living archive rather than a polished endpoint. It reflects ongoing experiments, collaborations, and ways of seeing — some resolved, some deliberately unresolved. If the work resonates, challenges, or simply holds your attention for a moment, then it’s doing what I hope it will.
