Eoin McHugh

b. 1977, Ireland

My work revolves around the exploration of a number of themes and motifs through drawing. The process of drawing is used to investigate the development of visual associations and the formation of a personal fictional world. The resulting works, which depict objects, experiments, performances and narratives (in varying states of completion), can be read in terms of metaphor, allegory, or any number of rhetorical devices. I am primarily interested in the interpretation of ambiguity in an artwork, in the space between the image, the object and the idea.
