HISTORIA


		Michael C Hughes Marking Time: A series of portraits of serving and ex-servicemen and women coupled with their personal service life memories. Spanning a period of nearly 90 years, the most senior a WW1 veteran through to individuals serving in Afghanistan today. The genesis of the project centres on six letters that the artist inherited regarding a relative killed in the trenches during the First World War. Effectively the project starts with an inherited memory - a handful of letters and photographs from the front line. The project continues the link through a series of portraits and memories stretching from 1918 to the present day. The work offers a unique fine art social document or ‘snap shot’ of historical military events; seen and recorded by the individuals that experienced them first hand.
