For Scott Boyd, creating a sculpture is like exploring a new language, developing its vocabulary and seeking out the abstractions of thought that can best bring expression to the possibility of communication.

​

"Boyd’s artistic practice uses the ancient form of the obelisk to explore cultural diversity and the fragility of endangered languages. Incorporating “Hello | Goodbye” in near-extinct alphabets from around the world, his sculptural work memorializes cultural heritage while reflecting on the emotional impact of language loss. Boyd’s practice emphasizes the rhythm, energy, and history embedded in written language.

 

Previously in New York City for twenty years, he lives and works in Stowe, Vermont, and holds a BA from Reed College and an MFA in Sculpture from the Yale University School of Art."

Other pursuits include writing poetry, drumming and dancing Argentine tango.
