Boyce was born in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire[1] and educated at Holy Cross High School in Hamilton.[5] He studied at the Glasgow School of Art, graduating with a BA in environmental art in 1990, then a MFA in 1997.[6] He lives in Glasgow with his wife and children.[7]

Boyce won the 2011 Turner Prize for his installation Do Words Have Voices, displayed at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead.[1] The installation is a recreation of a park in autumn.[3][7]
