Artist Statement
Hutchings works in a contradictory mixture of truth and lies, and humor and despair. His recent game book A Collection of Improving Exercises is all at once an instruction manual for perspective drawing, a meditation on death and eternity, and a metatextual self-portrait. His work is seldom what it appears to be and, when it is at its best, contains multiple themes and narratives that interleave to create unease and doubt.
