Hugh's work is an intimate response to the places where he has spent prolonged periods of time. Much of Hugh's work focuses on remote locations where his interests are centered on issues of loss and belonging; a result of the inevitable passage of time & events, which makes up our day to day existence. Watt's work pulls into question dualities played out between the observer and the observed.

Observations draw parallels between repetition & change, between elements of beauty & states of uncertainty, when describing relationships to places, both physically & psychologically. They constitute states of connectedness, as well as exposing the fractures, which put in motion, notions of displaced-ness.

Vapour is a continuous video loop depicting a view from the passenger seat of a stationary car. As the ice fills our field of vision, Vapour, sees an outward gaze slowly invert upon itself, leaving us with a sense of separation and internalization.

Hugh Watt is based in Glasgow, Scotland.
