LIBBY BOYD | A Point in Every Direction | AL’S OFFICE
June 14 - September 18, 2026
"Libby Boyd mines the overlooked—graph paper, backing boards, blackboards, the marginal spaces where notation accumulates quietly before anyone names it art. Her practice operates in the productive gap between utility and expression, where functional marks become charged with unexpected meaning [...] A backing board, freed from its supporting role, becomes the primary surface—revealing the incidental marks, the pressure points, the ghost traces of everything it once held up.
Her practice insists that meaning lives in the provisional, the unfinished, the accidentally eloquent. The work asks us to attend to what usually goes unnoticed: the scratch marks, the crossed-out attempts, the residue of thinking made visible."
-Artist and Curator, Julie Durkin Marty
