About the artists
Shary Boyle is a multi-disciplinary artist interested in human relations and how art communicates things people are not comfortable or able to speak about. She approaches her work with craft, humour, defiance and sincerity.
Graeme Patterson has been a part of Sackville’s creative community since 2010 where he continues to nurture an ever-evolving multi-disciplinary practice. Combining, sculpture, scale models, stop-motion animation, robotics, interactive programming, virtual reality and music, his work plunges us into a world that is as moving as it is playful. The product of a slow and meticulous creative process, his work entices us into an emotionally charged parallel universe inhabited by dreams, games, memory, fears, and nostalgia.
