The practice of artist Caroline Wright encompasses visual and performance work in media as diverse as glass and gold. She has made work for cities and rural spaces, community spaces, galleries, theatres, churches, on desolate uninhabited islands and for audiences of 100 and of one. Through a conceptual archaeology, she aims to uncover and take control of the past, by resurrecting, enacting or undoing and in so doing, Wright explores the relationships we each have within the world and with each other, looking at our communication structures and our histories and narratives. She questions the effect of outside influences and experiences on our actions and behaviour frequently transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, often using a contextual or physical change to achieve new perspectives.
Based at Wysing Arts Centre near Cambridge, Wright is an Arts Council England Escalator visual and live art selected artist. A recipient of an Artsadmin bursary in 2003, she is a member of the collectives Live Art Collective East (LACE) and the Escalator collective ROAM.
