Patricia L. Boyd’s work finds form through an inquiry into its own matters of production and presentation, and often extends to address the infrastructures—physical, economic, institutional—within which it is made and held. Encompassing sculpture, photography, writing and video, the work is often characterised by a display of the negative: through the use of inversion, elision, removal.


Boyd's recent solo exhibitions include Secession, Vienna (2022); Kunstverein München (2021), Front Desk Apparatus, New York (2020), Christian Andersen, Copenhagen (2019), Cell Project Space (with Rosa Aiello), London (2019), 1856, Melbourne (2018), Potts, Los Angeles (2018), 80WSE, New York (2017), Modern Art Oxford, Oxford (2014).
