Hughes

Disciplines: Painting

Materials: Etching, Monoprint, Oil, Pastel, Pencil

My practice focusses on the ordinary and the inherent intangibility of daily life, with current work portraying depictions of personally gathered everyday imagery and references to visual media. I enjoy playing with image and surface across drawing, painting and printmaking to reflect on the ambiguity that is often found in daily life, engaging in the tactility of making while paying attention to the subtle qualities of these mediums.
