British artist Richard Dean Hughes explores the tension between the real and hypothetical through sculptures that merge imagined scenarios with tangible materials. His works evoke a sense of place and time, questioning plausibility and creating a disconnect that highlights modern society’s fragile relationship with history, tradition, and nature. By drawing on historical elements and the majestic, Hughes seeks to embed the profound sensation of history’s weight compared to the present.
