Boyle created this painting as a reflection on resisting immediate judgement of people and situations. The work explores how quick assumptions and confirmation bias can prevent us from seeing deeper understanding, possibility and positivity. The painting is created by building up layers of plaster and carving into the final surface, usually with the end of a paintbrush before it dries. Acrylic paint is then layered over the textured surface, allowing the image to gradually emerge.
