The centrepiece of Boyce's Turner show is a graffiti-covered table etched with childish scrawls, as if from an old school desk. The table is inspired by modernist French designer Jean Prouvé Photograph: Colin Davison /BALTIC & the artist
A suspended ceiling – made to resemble trees – dapples random geometric reflections on to the walls. Adrian Searle says: 'I'm haunted by his room, with the way a hanging mobile entwines itself with the library table, like a dangling thought, the room sweeping away into a kind of indoor autumn. His art is an elegy to modernist purity' Photograph: Christopher Thomond for the Guardian
Boyce's is a nostalgic take on modernism: full of geometric patterns, but playfully distorted and updated
