Denizen 5 Collagraph Print by Pauline Hughes

This beautifully detailed pieced named Denizen 5 is a collagraph print with raised areas and ceramic inclusions by ceramicist and printmaker Pauline Hughes. 

The Denizen series was inspired by Pauline’s everyday journeys, where she continually discovers patterns and unexpected variations in the places she passes. Her regular routes reveal new visual rhythms and details, providing an ongoing source of inspiration for the work.

I am interested in how we inhabit, engage with and psychologically respond to the built environment. This provides me with a lens through which I explore urban spaces and examine the human presence embedded within it. Working in ceramic, print and fabric allows me to interpret the city’s material landscape creating works that are a hybrid of urban structure and human experience. My work is a dialogue between people and place revealing how our presence both shapes and is shaped by the environments we inhabit and how the two are inextricably bound.
