Daphne Wright’s (b. 1963) sculptures and installa
tions bear witness to transience, fragility and the
many facets of human life. Through observing them,
one senses a certain melancholy, which is under
scored by fragile materials such as unfired clay or
plaster. This volume offers a comprehensive
overview of Wright’s fascinating body of work from
1995 to the present.
Transitions between childhood and adulthood,
between life and death – Daphne Wright’s works
explore life’s liminal spaces, engaging with themes
such as care, parenthood and ageing. Using a wide
range of materials, she examines everything from
common objects and farm animals to her own
children, capturing the transience of subtle moments.
A fascinating memento mori of contemporary art
that challenges and confronts the viewer by means
of sometimes life-sized sculptures
