If you're not affected you're not paying attention

Richard Hugues You’ll be dead for years without even knowing it 2011

By far I think my favourite piece. The small metal pipe overhangs the mattress (which I think was made of fibreglass) which constantly dips water, pooling below. I always a fan of kinetic installations and the fact that it just seemed so out of place in a gallery setting. Grungy but beautiful! 

Richard Hughes Chapel Perilous 2010

A kaleidoscopic sculpture consisting of six mirrored sections made up of windows and radiators adorned with teenage memorabilia. I was really drawn to this piece and spent a long time taking it all in. I particularly like the detail of mirroring, right down to the skateboard stickers and Mario toys!

Richard Hughes Blue Heaven 2010

This may look like an ordinary wall covered in blu tack (it may not even look like that with my awful photograph - apologies!). The installation actually consists of 300 individual pieces cast in bronze hand painted to resemble every day blu tack…dedication is not the word!

Various Richard Hughes including Repeat to fade 2013 transforming the traditional ‘white cube’ gallery space with peeling, ripped paint. Also, With the lights out 2012 a domestic lamp dressed in clothing.

Richard Hughes Sleeping Rust 2012

What first appears to be part of the architecture, on closer inspection are carefully placed rusty drainpipes, complete with bird’s nest. The pipes spell out the word ‘nowhere’ which, without being told requires a lot of staring and standing in the right position in order to see! It’s a lot more obvious looking at it through a camera lens!

A brilliant use of space and the wonderfully curved wall of the gallery.

Unfortunately I forgot to write down the titles for these pieces, loved this sculpture, so shiny! Really draws you in, like a bee to nectar!

Maggi Hambling, Scallop, 2003

Although initially surrounded by controversy of being on a heritage beach I believe Scallop has surpassed this by becoming part of the Aldeburgh beach scape. You can view this sculpture from so many different angles and get a different perspective each time. The metallic surface reflects different light making the colour ever changing and I would imagine it being fantastic at sunset.

Steve Bishop,Christian Dior - J’adore (Mountain Goat), 2008

Taxidermied goat, concrete, chalk

What can I say? Loved this piece, was in hysterics for a few minutes especially when I read the title! I’m really drawn towards it despite the taxidermy! The natural materials are great, both man-made in some way. Anything that takes a dig at glamorised perfume ads is always a win in my book.
