Featured MFA: Grace Boyd

Our first featured MFA in 2021 is 1st year MFA with a practice in ceramics and land based art: Grace Boyd!!!

Grace is a ceramics and land based artist living nomadically across Canada. She holds a BFA from the University of Manitoba. Her early life was untamed and mostly lived outdoors, the natural beauty that surrounded her shaped her identity and art practice, drawing her to handmade objects and how they are made. The places she has lived inspire her work and inform her constant need to connect; person, place, and object. She is ever seeking a natural place to rest which drives her to create the world in which she wishes to belong.

We asked Grace about her “studio”-work. Here is was she said:

With great curiosity, I am seeking to further understand the relationship between person, place and object through the medium of ceramics and land-based materials. I wish to build a world around myself of which I want to dwell and thrive.

Do you keep a special object in your studio?

My collections. Through my explorations of the wild places I have gathered and collected a great assortment of wild objects that I identify as my treasures. These object I award places of honor in my studio, arranging them with care and thought.
