This work, along with the others from this series, were actually made in collaboration with Mark Boyle and his wife Joan Hills. At the time we acquired the piece in the 1970s they were exhibiting only under Boyle’s name—in their words from their website, “largely because Mark and Joan were more concerned with making their work than attempting to fight the stereotype that artists were solo and usually male” (yikes). In 1985 they started exhibiting as the Boyle Family, including their two children as collaborators. They’ve exhibited as a family collective since then.
