Wright’s critical writing has always been an important element in her engagement with contextual research and has now taken precedence as a creative practice in itself. The recent completion of her dissertation ‘Between Taxonomies: Curios and the Spaces and Narratives of Curiosity in Collections’ concerned the hermeneutic systems of the museum; her interest lies in that which is sited between the delimitations of taxonomies - which are revealed as governing regulators – and the marginalised, existent in archival spaces, within myth and fiction. Studio based research continues to inform and influence her writing, there being a fluid exchange of ideas between the ‘curatorship’ of visual material within the studio and associative forms of writing, which articulate themselves variously as spoken transcripts, written narratives, or critical texts. Wright works as a writer and, more tentatively, as an artist & curator.
