CAROLINE WRIGHT

Exploring embodied relationships through drawing and time based work Caroline Wright’s work addresses identity and loss, responding to lands, seas and objects, sometimes through museological lenses. With a background in live art performance, she investigates how to hold onto place through making, referencing place attachment theory (Scannel, Gifford 2010), which suggests emotional cognitive bonds between an individual, a place (or object), and behaviours signify familiarity and belonging.  

She makes large scale and detailed works through long and arduous endeavour where body senses contribute to an understanding of change and adaptation.
