Author's note:
Boyd’s ‘Untitled (ZVDG) 2014’ (AGNSW) is based on an engraving of an
1898 Portuguese painting showing Vasco Da Gama’s meeting with the
Zamorin of Calicut, painted in the artist’s signature style of employing
tonal graduations and dots to give a sense of shifting light. Boyd refers
to these dots as ‘lenses.’
