"I predominantly create installation
based immersive works, inhabited by an excessive assemblage of sculptural

photography.
The juxtaposition of disparate materials and objects belonging to distinct eras – some remaining ambiguous, others untransformed, possess a potential to evolve or adapt.
Hughes themes of interest include the female form, perception and distortion of beauty, and voyeurism, with elements of novelty kitsch and theatrical macabre.

horror, a childhood fascination with taxidermy and the bright lights of
glamour.
