Bedroom studies by Lily Hughes
Drawings
Artist statement: I am a Margate based artist making works on paper that explore and articulate my research and the maelstrom of images that enter my daily life. Using writing, drawing and linocut, I aim to make inexpensive work that is useful, inclusive, and shoots a sideways look at art history, politics and supermarkets.
My work is lifted directly from my daily life and fed by my education in Art Theory and Philosophy. I see myself as a recorder, whether the images come from books, tv, or from walking around; they are seen through the same lens and put down on paper in the same way. I would describe the resulting work as boring to the point of comedy - I try to show things as they are and not how they seem.
