Terry Boyd is a multi-platform artist whose works encompass performance, pattern, and fiber art. Boyd digitizes hand-drawn line works through a custom program, pixelating the image beyond recognition. An embroidery software translates the image into a complex, thread-based object. The results are beautiful, impromptu abstractions that are systematically made by a logic-based machine and human error. These interminable lines of thread provide a conduit for introspection. Describing the process, Boyd says that he tries to push his machines towards manifesting emotional rawness, that is, "I am trying to teach a logic-based machine how to think like a painter."
