Wendy Hughes – Textile Artist – 2025
In a globalised world in which technology is more and more playing a major role in people’s lives, Wendy Hughes’ work goes against the trend.
She creates Textile Sculptures by manipulating materials in a random irregular way only possible when produced by hand. Her work straddles the zone between Textiles and Fine Art. She mixes a wide range of fabrics which she dyes, to create her soft sculptural forms, using nylon filament and aluminium wire to shape each piece. Her organically inspired work is intuitive and materially led.
Wendy Hughes makes hats and headpieces to commission. Her textile work for the church includes vestments i.e. copes, chasubles and banners.
