His work is based on a set of design principles, developed during his Churchill Fellowship in Japan in 2015. Made in English elm and brass, Hugh's work explores contrast: between texture and smoothness; between hidden and visible; between plane and lath; and between lightness and solidity. These contrasts illuminate the duality of Japanese and Western cultural influences that underpin his work.Focus:FurnitureCV:Download documentCommissions:Available for commissionsWinston Churchill Memorial Fellowship to Japan01 November 2015I recently travelled to Japan on a Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowship to research the unique woodworking culture there.
