ABOUT

Laura Hughes creates site-specific installation environments that analyze and redirect our perceptions within our architectural surroundings. Often directly responding to the features of a given space using light and reflective surfaces, her work challenges the assumptions we make about what surrounds us allowing us to see what is usually overlooked. Her reordered spatial vocabulary, which invokes both apprehension and imagination, works to illuminate and challenge our standard perceptions of space.

Hughes is currently located in Portland, Oregon where she completed the MFA Visual Studies program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in the spring of 2010.
