Lizzie Hughes’s diverse practice includes installation, video, sound works and performance

Working with the gallery’s archive, Hughes will investigate William Morris’s tireless pursuit of learning and enter into a dialogue with the local community. The amateur interests Hughes as someone often undertaking a solitary pursuit, an autodidact who finds unorthodox and innovative ways to solve problems. The residency will include a public event for amateur craftspeople to contribute to a lasting record of the residency.
