Everyone is invited to this free SPOTLIGHT Opening Reception for Graham Boyd.

Swooshes and Stacks

This Spotlight contains a collection of works that Graham Boyd (BFA ‘20, Glass and BFA ’22 Sculpture) has been working on over the last year. The work focuses on the formal and sculptural side of handmade glass objects, highlighting their form, colour, surface and silhouettes.

Coaxial Stacks is a collection of works combining simple, basic geometric forms such as cylinders, cones and spheres, each assembled at their shared center axis, with attention to colour schemes and transparency.

The Form Swoosh collection uses a singular line of colour flowing from the top of the piece to the base. This singular "swoosh" focuses the viewer's eye on the curves and silhouette of the work.

Graham Boyd is a glass artist and contemporary sculptor from Calgary, Alberta. He studied at AUArts (formerly known as ACAD), graduating with a BFA in glass in 2020 and a BFA in sculpture in 2022.
