Hugh Hayden: Boogey Men Exhibition
Tuesday, July 19, 2022
10:00 am - 5:00 pm
In
his
innovative
work
across
mediums,
Hugh
Hayden
creates
anthropomorphic
forms
that
explore
our
relationship
with
the
natural
world.
Formally
trained
as
an
architect,
Hayden
deploys
laborious
processes—selecting,
carving,
fabricating—that
result
in
dynamic,
surreal,
and
critical
responses
to
personal
experience
and
social
and
cultural
issues.
Renowned
for
his
use
of
wood—taking
disparate
natural
species
and
manipulating
them
to
reveal
complex
histories
and
meanings—Hayden
crafts
intricate
metaphors
and
meditations
on
experience
and
memory
that
question
social
dynamics
and
the
ever-shifting
ecosystem.
