Joseph Hughes

Playing with everyday objects is Joseph Hughes’ (1986, the United Kingdom) greatest source of inspiration. Hughes' work usually alters ready-made items or recomposes familiar objects. 

He makes small changes to the norm, that's how terracotta basketballs suddenly seem perfectly logical. A Mimicry to Memory, 2021 is just one more of those added to that list. Presented in this way Hughes questions just how 'authentic' the replica is in the translation of material and value.
