MAAD Speaker Series: Shary Boyle


Shary Boyle is well-known for her bold, fantastical explorations of the

figure. Highly crafted and deeply imaginative, her multi-disciplinary

practice mines the social history of porcelain figurines, animist mythologies

and folk art forms to create a symbolic, politically charged language

uniquely her own.
