Fraser returned to live in Glasgow in 2017. In 2018 he established the collaborative art practice, Two-Step, with artist Beth Shapeero which explores their shared visual language of abstracted gesture. Also, in 2018 Fraser became an ambassador for Print Clan an open access textile studio and in 2019, he purchased a ten-meter textile print table which is installed in their premises on Glasgow’s historic High Street. In 2020 HAXTON was established which revisits methods of making that were prominent in Fraser’s practice in the 70s and 80s, silkscreen printing on fabric and garment construction. What differs now is the inclusion of digital printing. He is currently working with Panel (Glasgow) to produce a major solo exhibition: Instant Whip: Revisiting the textiles and papers of Fraser Taylor, 1977-1987 which will take place at Glasgow School of Art.
Fraser is currently the Curator at the Beacon Arts Center in Greenock, Scotland.
