RICHARD HUGHES – PAPERWORK
2022-01-24Richard Hughes’ practice primarily centres on the transformative effect of time on a place or an object via deterioration, or how it can be transubstantiated into a dissimilar situation.
At The Modern Institute’s Brick Space Richard Hughes presents works on paper for the first time. During the UK lockdowns Hughes began re-exploring the medium, making use of rudimentary materials and limited space. The initial sketches began as proposals for potential sculptures, works to be made when the limitations were lifted, but they soon evolved into works that held their own footing. Unconsciously they illustrated a collected mindset pondering something greater than the self that can be enhanced from isolation, feeling the vastness illustrated through the minutiae of the everyday.
