Exhibition: finding the most forgiving element by Helen Hughes

Butler Gallery Evans Home, John's Quay,, Kilkenny

Butler Gallery is very pleased to present finding the most forgiving element, a new body of work by Helen Hughes that includes sculptures, print works and two short films.

Making and materiality are foundational in my predominately sculptural practice which takes influence from mass produced commodities and the fetishistic surfaces of retail. Honing and developing my own improvised, markedly physical processes, and utilising materials that are wilful and difficult to control (e.g. balloons and fast-cast resins) my practice is rooted in the body and its way of understanding. My intention counters increasingly virtual ways of navigating the world and a growing remove from materiality.
