This work has been in the making for almost ten years. The origins of the work germinated in response to location, geography and physical proximity to the chosen objects through the activity of surfing. "Andrew Hughes' photographs of rubbish at the beach speak to this dread. His monumental photographs of the banal relics of our evermore supersized and disposable lifestyles intimate the hidden depths that lurk beyond the superficial disgust with which beach junk fills us. We are dismayed by the desperate irony that the very beaches we seek out as physically and psychically restorative refuges are as irretrievably polluted as our toxic hinterlands".
