Past exhibitions include the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (Victoria, BC); Eastern Edge (St.John's, NL); Artcite (Windsor, ON); and ODD Gallery (Dawson City, YK). Huyer has participated in several art festivals such as Nuit Blanche (Toronto, ON); CAFKA 07 and CAFKA 18 (Kitchener, ON); in/future Art Festival (Toronto, ON); and the Bonavista Biennale 2021 (Bonavista, NL).

Negotiating +/– consists of up to 150 plastics bags which are inflated in sequences choreographed by the artist. Each bag is powered by an Arduino programmed fan, activating the spaces Negotiating +/– inhabits with deeply satisfying movement, sound and an evocative impression of breath and bodies.
