Chris Wright

Nottingham
My approach is experimental and concerns borders & marginal spaces revealing cross-cultural, political, social, environmental relationships using sound, sculpture, performance, photography and drawing.

 I make enquiries into the nature of things, especially the concept of borders and in-between spaces, through different media but especially sound. Sound has a shape that you can hold, roll around, taste, smell, feel, hear and allow your imagination to take you on a journey. Based in the East Midlands, UK, I am an interdisciplinary artist working with sound, film, photography, performance and drawing. Currently, my main practice and research concerns sound and its relationship to time and space, especially at the intersection with the body.  

I belong to Near Now at Broadway, Nottingham and have a studio at Surface Gallery, Nottingham.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lived Experience

Living a rural life on city outskirts, I revel in the feel of the sun, rain and wind on my skin. It grounds me and prepares me for the day - to create, to make, to think.
