ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Tile Count: 408 This tile count represents how many individual resin tiles this art piece has. "Weight of a Like" marks one of the first creations by the artist using her unique technique, which involves crafting individual tiles from resin for a pixelated outcome. Inspired by the iconic 8-bit style of Nintendo, the artist sought to develop a method that allowed her to create her own distinctive tiles. This depiction of a thumbs-up symbolizes the concept of "liking" and represents the lengths to which individuals go for the validation of being liked, both in real life and on social media. As with all her works, this piece is completed with a repurposed vintage frame, adding a touch of history and character to this thought-provoking exploration of social connection.

Stacey Hughes, BIO Stacey Hughes is a gifted artist with an unwavering dedication to her craft. Constantly pushing the boundaries, Stacey has recently delved into her newest technique using resin. This experimental process is both exciting and challenging, as she never knows how the final result will turn out until the very last step. However, it is precisely this element of uncertainty that fuels her artistic journey. Stacey recently had an art exhibition displaying her newest work, setting a new bar for herself by self-curating and setting up the entire show. "It was a true testament to my simple mantra... One step a day," she reflects. This achievement not only showcases her artistic talent but also highlights her determination and ability to take on new challenges. When asked about her artistic goals, Stacey passionately states, "I want my art to evoke a feeling, make you think deeper, or spark a nostalgic memory." With every brushstroke and every layer of resin, she strives to capture a connection with her audience through familiarity. Stacey's art is a testament to her boundless creativity, cleverness, and dedication. Through her work, she invites us to remember our long-lost childhood thoughts, characters, and color with each new piece she creates.
