Patricia L Boyd: Metrics

In Metrics, Patricia L Boyd presents a new series of sculptures commissioned by Modern Art Oxford. She asks challenging questions about the everyday spaces in which we work and live, making particular reference to the relationship between the artist's studio as a place of creation and the powerful influence of the commercial property market.

The sculptures, veneered with a 5mm layer of timber lifted from the floor of Boyd's current studio, are direct copies of furniture in cafes and offices in the area surrounding her current place of work in central London - a building temporarily consigned as studios for artists.
