Patrick Hughes – Peggy
"I like to quote one of Franz Kafka’s aphorisms with Peggy: 'The true way is like a rope stretched a little way above the ground, it seems intended more for tripping over than walking along'" (Patrick Hughes, November 2021)
His board constructions use an ingenious technique, creating the illusion of a flat surface that actually protrudes into space when viewed from a specific angle. Hughes' playful and surreal compositions often feature everyday objects like books and globes, challenging our understanding of reality and perspective.
