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.
