Jim Boyd lives in Hampton, New Brunswick. He has a BFA Major in Sculpture from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, NS, and a BEd from the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. Jim has been involved in several exhibitions and was a participant in Maine’s Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium in 2011.
2012 Syposium
The 2011 Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium was the first symposium that I participated in. It was great to meet, live with and work alongside five other sculptors from a variety of countries. My participation in the symposium enabled me to produce a large scale granite sculpture in a relatively brief time period. My studio in Hampton is not set up for such large scale work so I found it very liberating to work big for a change. One of the things that I liked about participating in a symposium was that I was focused everyday on stone carving. The menial tasks that one is often distracted by when living and working at home were swept aside for six weeks. Another element that I enjoyed at the symposium was the interaction with the members of the public that visited the site. People were so interested in the method, materials and ideas involved in producing large scale granite sculpture.
