Judith Wright (born 1945) in Meanjin (Brisbane) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans installation, video, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking and assemblage.[1][2][3]
Her work explores universal human experiences of loss, impermanence and vulnerability.[4][1] Wright’s figurative sculptural installations use theatrical props and lighting to investigate these themes, and reflect her experience as a dancer in The Australian Ballet.[4]
Wright has a background in dance, and was a dancer for The Australian Ballet[5] before beginning her visual arts practice in the 1970s.[6] She worked as a lecturer at both the Queensland University of Technology and the Queensland College of Art at Griffith University. She was a Queensland Art Gallery Board Member from 1999-2002.[4]
Awardsedit
Wright received an Arts Queensland fellowship in 1993, as well as a Queensland Government Professional Development grant in 1998.[4]
Group exhibitions have included Lurid Beauty: Australian Surrealism and its Echoes at the National Gallery of Victoria ; All our relations, 18th Biennale of Sydney; and Contemporary Australia: Women, The Queensland Art Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane.[6]
