Gabriella Boyd is an artist from Dharug and Gundungurra Country (Blue Mountains), currently based on Gadigal Land (Sydney). Drawing from her background in architecture, she is interested in the relationships between people and their environment, how spaces affect us, and our environmental impact. Working across mediums of video, projection and ceramics, her practice connects craft and digital technological processes.
This will make it less likely to fade, is inspired by the handwritten book of craft recipes and instructions created by her late maternal grandmother, Mardi, whom she never met. Honouring her matrilineal line, Gabriella collaborated with her mother, Liz, to explore the book’s relationship to the past, place, and memory. Gabriella’s installation gives new life to Mardi’s glaze and natural dye recipes, and to Liz’s print-making, in a body of work that celebrates multi-generational collaboration across time and place.
