Hugh Hayden’s artwork explores American
cultural identity though the familiar yet
subliminal lens of hair. The work utilizes
content, form, materiality, and technique to
create new visual histories that address race,
class, and gender. The Dallas native received
a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell
University in 2007. Following graduation,
Hayden won the prestigious Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill Travel Fellowship to study
food-related art, design, and architecture
around the world. Hayden’s artwork has been
exhibited both locally and internationally
including commissions from Lacoste and
Cabinet Magazine.
