About Hugh Hayden:
Hugh Hayden's practice considers the anthropomorphization of the natural world as a visceral lens for exploring the human condition, transforming familiar objects through a process of selection, carving, and juxtaposing to challenge our perceptions of ourselves, others, and the environment. Raised in Texas and trained as an architect, his work arises from a deep connection to nature and its organic materials. Hayden utilizes wood as his primary medium, frequently loaded with multi-layered histories in their origin, including objects as varied as discarded trunks, rare indigenous timbers, Christmas trees or souvenir African sculptures. Hayden’s work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in the United States and abroad.
