Peon Boyle creates engaging art using printmaking, drawing, and installations. She thoughtfully explores materials, the state of being, and the essence of life, all while observing the beauty of nature and daily experiences. Her careful approach leads to delicate works that encourage viewers to pause and reflect, focusing on natural materials to support sustainability. By innovating in papermaking, repurposing, and textiles, she highlights the importance of slow making, producing art that connects with both the environment and the spirit.
Installation
Working with expanded printmaking using found objects has transformed Boyle's artistic practice. She explores the textures and shapes of everyday materials, experimenting with their potential to create unique prints. Each object, whether discarded furniture or natural elements, offers a different narrative and aesthetic quality. This method not only challenges traditional printmaking techniques but also invites her to engage more intimately with the environment around her. The process has become a dialogue between the materials and her creative vision, resulting in rich, multi-layered artworks that celebrate the beauty of the ordinary.
