The work of photographer James Hughes has been welcomed to Waterford.
Hughes’ photographic exhibition, titled ‘The Decoration of Absence: The Silent Traces of Irish Interiors’ will be opened by the Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr. Seamus Ryan at the Index Gallery Central Library on Wednesday, October 1 at 6.30pm and all are welcome to attend.
James Hughes is a Northern Irish photographer and artist, whose photographic practice ranges from social documentary through commercial to fine art photography.
His first photographic experience was of a childhood spent using a box brownie, which was made by his mother when she worked for Kodak.
James is self-taught, and influenced by late 20th century photography and literature, influences that he continues to link through his practice to-date.
A celebrated photographer, with many exhibitions and awards, his work is represented internationally in museums and galleries.
The exhibition runs at the Index Gallery, Central Library from October 1 to 31 (Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri 10am-5pm, Wed 1-8pm and Sat 10am-1pm and 2-5pm).
