Love Me Sweet #8
2011
acrylic on aluminium
1050 x 1360mm (approx)
Each work in Sara Hughes’ Love Me Sweet series is made up of brightly painted aluminium cut outs which take their basis in her ‘Paisley’ works of the early 2000s. Around this time Hughes was particularly interested in the history of pattern and specifically in the way in which it has been used as a transporter of memory, trade, ideas and politics. Paisley, with a history that can be traced through centuries of diverse cultures, held particular resonance and is revisited here in this recent body of works.
