*Exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2014 Edition of 15 Technique: Etching on Somerset paper, hand-coloured with watercolour, collagraph end papers, hand-tooled bookcloth cover Measurements (cm):Closed - 8cm x 5cm x 1cm Open - 8cm x 30cm The concept for "Engram" is based on the idea that we, as individuals, impact those around us as we progress through our lives. The circular motifs and dots, some of which are coloured, larger and more prominent, represent how different people have a greater or lesser influence on our own existence. By meeting and sharing time with these people, they alter our perspective on the world around us, and in some cases change the very fabric of our individuality. Engram is an etched concertina book, hand finished with watercolour paint. The book has collagraph printed end papers, with a book cloth cover and hand tooled lettering. The book is part of a series of pieces exploring place and ideas around mapping both physical and emotional space. This piece depicts a memory trace, an engram, and uses processes to support its meaning such as etching and blind tooling, techniques that leave permanent marks on surfaces as experience does on individuals.

Louisa Boyd graduated in 2001, showing a series of paper sculptures that used bookbinding techniques to support their structures. These artist’s books gained recognition with awards at this early stage in her career. Boyd has since worked as an artist exhibiting both nationally and internationally. Her work has been incorporated into a number of publications and also included in both national and international public collections with pieces held at King St Stephen Museum, Hungary, Baylor University, Texas, USA, The Grosvenor Museum, Chester, UK and Bank Street Arts, Sheffield, UK. Recent successes have seen her gain further recognition through exhibitions selected by prestigious juried panels and showing her work alongside some of the most well-established and respected names in contemporary art. Shortlisted for the John Ruskin prize in 2017 and having been selected for exhibition on three occasions for the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition, Boyd continues to make paintings, prints, artist’s books and paper sculptures. Her pieces honour traditional techniques such as hand marbling and acid etching yet innovate in the application of these skills. She uses abstract mark making and an explorative and inventive approach to realise new pieces which often have three-dimensional qualities.
