Louisa Boyd’s work centres around the persistent human desire to belong. She considers environment in her pieces and how we connect with the natural world to navigate and to establish a sense of place. Her abstract prints and sculptures feature celestial symbols, sacred geometry and cartographic imagery. 

 

Louisa’s etching prints layer abstract, drawn imagery made with traditional drawing tools with more painterly marks; the map-like outcomes,  symbolic of navigation, are a visual fusion of historic and contemporary ideas. Louisa’s prints are then often used alongside marbled papers to create three-dimensional works with structures based on sacred geometry; the elements of mathematics that underpin the fabric of the world we exist within. Central to this body of work is Plato’s idea that the five regular forms, the Platonic solids, connect to the five elements of nature: earth, fire, air, water and aether.
