Jessica Hughes, Candy Factory

Focus    on    Jessica    Hughes

Jessica Hughes's work focuses on a self-made personal, visual language. Her paintings convey her physical experiences of Auditory Process Disorder with bright, fast, confused signifiers which, if retranslated through an auditory medium, is what the world is like for her when nearly everything is verbalized.

He explores the tactile reality of objects and reflects on creativity as both a spontaneous and contemplative act, revealing how poetry, drawing, and political awareness shape his vision of a world rich in contradictions, irony, and unresolved tensions.
