The content Boyd is drawn to tends to embrace the fugitive, immaterial or ethereal. He employs diverse craft-based channels, in order to materialise these fleeting observations. Boyd often documents phenomena refracted by the urban environment, permeating the domestic. His research orbits pop cultural & art historical content which, in turn, harbours traces of much wider philosophical and scientific debate. A fascination with the tropes of science-fiction has become an internal filter for the quasi-ecclesiastic, supernatural imagery he favours. Boyd aims to situate his practice as a syncretic testbed, where ideas and processes coexist and cross-pollinate.
