Peon Boyle is a Hong Kong-born artist based in the South Downs. Her practice sits between fine art and craft, with a focus on expanding the language of printmaking into sculptural and textile forms. Beginning with the traditions of print on paper, she reshapes the surface into three-dimensional objects and installations, exploring how paper can behave like cloth—folded, stitched, and layered into tactile, crafted structures. In this way, her work challenges the distinctions between two- and three-dimensional making, as well as the boundaries between contemporary art and craft. Mindfulness underpins Boyle’s approach to printmaking. Each process is undertaken with attentiveness to the rhythm of hand, body, and material, making the act of printing a form of meditation as well as creation.

Her installations invite audiences to share in this sensibility of slowness, encouraging close observation and quiet reflection through crafted detail and material presence. Sustainability is central to her making. Boyle prioritises environmentally conscious methods, from developing alternative approaches such as printing lithography on linoleum (“lithino”), to sourcing reclaimed, biodegradable papers and working with low-toxicity inks and materials.

This ethos of responsibility aligns her practice with contemporary debates around craft, ecology, and care. Her work demonstrates a commitment to both tradition and innovation—drawing on the deep history of print and textile craft while opening it to new, cross-disciplinary possibilities.

By treating thread as line, stitches as marks, and paper as textile, Boyle reimagines familiar materials in ways that are grounded, resourceful, and conceptually expansive.
