Hugh Hayden Creates Sculptures of Domestic Items with a Twist

Texas-born Hugh Hayden creates sculptures that look a lot like furniture and other household items, except they come with highly unpractical spikes and branches.

The idea behind his project was to pick objects that are commonly connected with traditional family ideals, such as picket fence, dining table, and baby stroller. The imperfections in it represent the current crisis caused by ruining the “opportunity, hope and familiar togetherness” that were once the ultimate goals.

Hayden’s works are currently on display at Lisson Gallery in New York City. The exhibition is called Border States. Scroll down to see the sculptures.
