In the Garden Gallery: Ed Boyd

 Ed Boyd creates amazing and unique art from vinyl. While working at a sign shop in 2003, he became intrigued by the scraps left over from the sign making process. Initially, Ed cut the scraps into small square tiles as he worked - much like a mosaic.  Over time, he advanced to the more complex, sophisticated technique that he now uses to create his meticulously assembled scenes.  Sometimes mistaken as paintings from a distance, closer examination reveals Ed's finely detailed method of building the image:  Layer upon layer; background to foreground.
