SpaceFace (2019)

“If I fell face-down in some soft mud and someone pulled me out, and there was some low light falling on the impression I had made in the mud, it would look like me, with my nose sticking out even though it had plunged into the mud. (This is a natural phenomenon, unlike artificial perspective, and my own reverspective). In SpaceFace, this inside-out painted sculpture of my head, I have painted the hollow face as if it sticks out – and my face seems to follow you around the room.” - Patrick Hughes Ⓒ 2023 Patrick Hughes
