Artist Biography:

Dr. Chris A. Wright graduated in 2013 with a PhD in Fine Art and Philosophy from Staffordshire University. She is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher and writer based in the East Midlands, UK. She exhibits, undertakes residencies, presents at conferences both nationally and internationally primarily using sound but also sculpture, drawing, film and live art in an experimental practice that lies at the intersection of fine art and philosophy. She has been included in several publications about sound. To use the opportunity of this strange situation, she began Hatchery, an artist group that aims to provide mutual support both personally and in an art context as well as art discussion including online gallery visits.

Art Practice:

Chris is a conceptual sound artist exploring the ideas that the sonic instigates, highlights or exposes especially at the intersection of body, sound and space, (and thus, time), she uses different techniques to gain an understanding from performance, instrumentation, text and collaboration. Concerned with time and space particularly transitory spaces such as borders and the moment where one thing becomes another; ideas generated by found objects, dropped words, snippets of light; materials and process. I have imitated birdsong and monkeys in India, sailed paper boats down the Mekong River to look borderlines; blown across a bottle top in Norway; recorded 400,000 bees in Birmingham and hummed in a crypt in Sardinia. I also develop peer critique networks, collaborations and communal ways of working including Skype as a means of artistic input.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
