Synopsis

Daphne Wright’s sculptures and installations bear witness to transience, fragility and the many facets of human life.

Daphne Wright’s (b. 1963) sculptures and installations bear witness to transience, fragility and the many facets of human life. Through observing them, one senses a certain melancholy, which is underscored 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.
