TERRY BOYD
Terry’s work embroideries and unconventional sewing techniques connect audiences to lost memories, forgotten dreams, and personal histories by allowing an access point to the unconsciousness. The repetitive nature of the sewing process serves as a visual mantra that triggers a meditative state. Removing the referent to the external world, his sewn “paintings” guide the viewer back to the unending and elegance of the line, and invite the viewer to look inward for meaning.
His current work uses embroidery to capture how the media of the mid 90s & early 2000s influenced my sexual development and understanding. I’m revisiting the colorful stills burned into the back of my head from HBO’s late night programming, scrambled “ Skinemax” abstractions, and my first encounters of internet pornography.
