AN ARTIST aims to transform banal objects of everyday life in an exhibition coming soon to Leigh.

Dean Hughes works with familiar objects such as paper and bus tickets in such a way as to make people reconsider the ordinary, the systematised and daily rituals.

His work at the Turnpike Gallery is on show between February 16 and April 6.

Dean will discuss his work on Saturday, March 16 at 2pm in the gallery. Admission is free.
