"I’m so excited to share this project with the Norman Community. A very meaningful project made possible with the Norman Arts Council’s artist grants, and friends willing to explore their cultural identity through art. For all my fellow “Third Culture Kids” or transcultural youth —those who grew up between cultural worlds, never fully belonging—please come out! Let’s connect"

The exhibition ranges in styles but generally speaks to Boydston’s bold, graphic eye when it comes to his art and that which he makes for others. With slices of life and reflections on and of popular media, he hopes his work reminds viewers that art — both the creation and support of — are as fundamental to our daily life and enjoyment thereof as anything else the world has to offer or demand.
