In 2004, Payce began to collaborate with composers and photographers to produce videos that animate the negative spaces between his ceramic forms. He also recently began working with lenticular photographic technology to produce large-scale re-mediations of his ceramic works. These works were featured in a solo exhibition entitled. Greg Payce Illusions, at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto in 2012. Payce has completed numerous large-scale public commissions utilizing forms generated from his ceramics. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, a large-scale bronze commission, was installed in the Calgary International Airport in 2003. Wane, a ceramic installation, was placed in the Canadian embassy in Seoul, Korea in 2005. In 2010, he completed the turned- aluminum work, Healing Garden for the Lois Hole Pavilion at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton.
